✨I've discovered a hidden gem in Miami that locals keep to themselves

It's the perfect place to unlock Florida's stunning starry skies and enjoy a one-stop adventure with historical buildings, wetland hikes, and even a picnic with an amazing atmosphere! This guide will help you experience the best in just 2 days and 1 night. 👇 📍 How to Get There: Drive to "Deering Estate - Campground." It's only a 40-minute drive from downtown Miami! There's a free parking lot and a dedicated camping area. If you're coming on the weekend, arrive early to secure your spot. 🚗 🛺 Camping Gear Must-Haves and No-Nos: ✅ Must Bring: - Pop-up tent - Folding tables and chairs - LED string lights - Self-heating hot pot + portable utensils - Mosquito repellent + sunscreen ❌ Leave at Home: - Single-person tents - Fragile items - Toiletries 🌌 Must-Do Activities: 1️⃣ Sunset Beach Camping: Set up your tent at 4 PM and watch the pink and orange sunset over Miami Beach. 🌊 2️⃣ Bonfire Concert: Every Saturday night features live bands. Bring a Bluetooth speaker and sing along. 🎤 3️⃣ Tide Pool Exploration: During low tide, grab a bucket and catch little crabs. Kids will go wild for this! 🦀 🏞️ Fun and Adventure in Florida's Hidden Gems: 🏰 Historical Buildings Trio: - Deering Mansion: A 1920s Art Deco-style mansion with dreamy interiors! 💡 Tips: Wear long pants! The air conditioning is strong, but shorts and skirts are not allowed. - Barnacle Bill's: A beachside wooden cabin restaurant. Must-try: Lobster roll and coconut jelly! - WWII Bunker: Explore the mysterious underground air-raid shelter and hear Cold War stories from the tour guide. 🔍 🌿 Wetland Hiking Trails: 👉 Beginner Trail (1.5h): Walk on wooden boardwalks through mangroves and spot pink flamingos. 🦩 👉 Advanced Trail (3h): Wade through mudflats for birdwatching. Wear waterproof hiking boots. 👟 🚤 Water Activities: Rent a kayak ($30/hour) and paddle into Biscayne Bay. The light is perfect for photos around 4 PM! 📸 ⚠️ Caution: There are jellyfish within 100 meters of the shore. Avoid touching the water! 🍴 Foodie Bonus: ✅ In the Park: - Campfire Grill: Burgers for $8, and fries are free (grab a seat outdoors quickly!). - Beachside Bar: Cocktails for $12.

Their smoked salmon sandwich is amazing! 💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: 1️⃣ The picnic area is only open until 11:00 AM. Clean up by then, or security will shoo you away. 👮 2️⃣ Lifeguards leave at 3:00 PM. Wear a life jacket if you go in the water. 3️⃣ Weekends are super crowded! Opt for a Camping Cabin with a bathroom (150/night) to make things easier. 4️⃣ Bring your own trash bags! The park fines are harsh, and some people have been fined over $200. 🚮 📸 Best Times for Photos: ⏰ 7:00 AM: Beach sunrise yoga ⏰ 12:00 PM: Retro photos with the historical buildings ⏰ 3:00 PM: Wetland hike and crab catching ⏰ 6:00 PM: Sunset viewing + silhouette shots ⏰ 8:30 PM: Bonfire + stargazing #Travel #Camping #Picnic #Adventure #Miami #Let'sGoCamping #UrbanOasis #BeautifulScenery #LifeWellLived #NorthAmerica
