International Travellers Youth Hostel

Hotel

Quote:

For $12.00/night, accomodations were clean, pleasant, and close to the beach---a real bonus. Party all night at The Delano, The National Hotel, and China Grill and then enjoy meeting hostelers from Germany, Britain, Australia, and Sweden.

I loved this place! The bartender(at the Tiki Bar outside) was hilarious. They have incredible seafood here. Absolutely delicious. Go here to dine with locals and tourists alike. You can't leave without trying the stone crabs.

News Cafe South Beach

Restaurant | "The News Cafe"

Quote:

This is the perfect place to go for cappucinos at sunrise. Set on Ocean Drive, across from the beach, News Cafe provides the perfect setting for a meditative cup of cappucino in the morning or a late night bite to eat. The staff is warm and friendly and the atomosphere is tremendously inviting. The secret to getting good service is to go when the crowds are low(early morning,may - august--when it's so hot and most of the tourists are gone.)

Everglades National Park

Attraction

Quote:

As you make your way on to The Everglades Bike/Walking Path, you will notice that you are surrounded by water on both sides...and not just any water--swamp water. After riding for about ten minutes, I noticed an Alligator--10 feet from me. Actually, it was just his head. If you are looking for a bike trail that will motivate you to pedal quickly, this is it! I would recommend that you start early in the day (the trail is 15 miles long). We started at 4:30 pm and ended up cycling well into the evening (we finished at 9:30 pm!) If you like alligators, this is the activity for you.
