Heat Up Your Summer With a Getaway to Miami

Everyone knows Miami is a favorite spot for a warming winter getaway, but how about a summer holiday in South Florida? For sure!

There's no better feeling that hitting the beach on the hottest summer days, and Miami is a tropical paradise when it comes to finding that special spot on the sand. Just a stone's throw away from daddy O you can cool off in the surf, read your favorite book, or just get your tan on. Bal Harbour Beach, Surfside Beach, and Haulover Beach are all less than 10 minutes away. Just slip on your flip-flops and walk to the beach in only 10 minutes! Or hop in your car for a summer day at Key Biscayne, called "the Key" by locals. A little over 30 minutes away, you'll find a tranquil oasis with cycling paths and gorgeous views of Miami on this northern most island of the Florida Keys.

If it gets a little too steamy, head for the air-conditioned bliss of Bal Harbour Shops just around the corner from daddy O. Spend the day browsing eye-popping luxury fashions for that perfect night-on-the-town look and keep your eyes peeled for special events like exclusive trunk shows or summer beauty consultations at Saks Fifth Avenue while your there.

Just think twice about an adventure in the Everglades. The swarms of mosquitoes can be quite a pest.
