Our favorite thing to do on Saturday mornings is to take a stroll to the farmers market for some delicious baked goods and local foods and crafts. The vendors change every week (though there are some beloved staples like Nisha's Indian food and two awesome bakeries) and everyone is super friendly. There is a playground at Legion Park as well if you want to make it a family activity.

If you are looking for an authentic Cuban breakfast, this is your place. Get a cafecito and a Cuban sandwich, and make sure you get a guava cheese empanada for dessert (because breakfast deserves a dessert, too!). Closed on Sundays.

Great spot for high quality cocktails at a more affordable price on South Beach (about $12 per drink). Excellent place to start a night out on the beach. The drinks, the bar's food menu and the bartenders are all equally awesome.

We love this beach on Key Biscayne for its shady spots under palm trees and general chill-ness compared to South Beach. Bonus points if there's a hammock you can bring to set up shop between palm trees and live your best life.

Entertainment & Activities
Ok, yes, this is super touristy but here's the thing - it's actually really fun! These guys take you on a 90-minute boatride starting at Bayside in Downtown and show you the houses of the rich and the famous. We recently did it and had a blast! Try to go about an hour before sunset for the best views (and most instagrammable pictures).
