Discover the Best of Miami: Your Essential 24-Hour Itinerary
Nestled between magical Mermaid and buzzy Burleigh beaches, vibrant Gold Coast nabe Miami offers an intoxicating blend of beachside beauty, laid-back charm, and enticing lifestyle attractions. With its pristine coastline, up-and-coming eateries, and hidden local haunts, Miami is an ideal destination for a day of exploration and relaxation. Whether you’re a visitor or a local looking for inspiration, here’s how to make the most of 24 hours in Miami.
Morning: Coastal Vibes and Brunch Delights
Start your day with a sunrise stroll along Miami Beach. The golden sands and dazzling ocean provide a serene setting to soak up the morning rays. For a more elevated view, head up to the Miami Headland Walk, where you can enjoy sweeping vistas of the coastline and a colourful photo opp on the famous Rainbow Stairs.
Post hike, fuel up with a hearty breakfast at Paddock Bakery, a local favourite known for its rustic country charm and delectable homemade plates. From their signature dippy eggs to indulgent pastries, every bite is a toothsome treat.
Midday: Shopping and Sipping
As the day kicks into gear, it’s time to give your wallet a workout and head a few minutes south the Burleigh shopping hub, James Street. Here you’ll find fashion and homeware boutiques, art galleries representing diverse local talent, and so much more.
Once you’ve got your retail fix, celebrate your new purchases at one of Miami’s buzzy micro-breweries. You’ve got Black Hops, Precinct, Hard Fizz and Roji Cat all within a few blocks. Take your pick (or try them all!), then stop by new Nobby Beach development The Oxley, where markets, sweet treats, ace eats, and more boutiques await!
Afternoon: Surf, Turf, or Soak
Time to ramp up the action. Head back to Miami Beach and learn to surf in a group class, or if you’d rather stay dry, the Burleigh Golf Club boasts a lush course and driving range depending on how much time you have to spare. If that all sounds like hard work, Soak Bathhouse located a few minutes north in Mermaid Beach is your lower octane option!
Evening: Feast and Festivities
Wrap up your day with dinner, drinks and dancing at one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant cultural hotspots, Miami Marketta. By night, this space transforms into a bustling food market with live music, food trucks, and global flavours, with regular special events and touring musical acts. Be sure to book ahead for bigger names!
