Being in Miami over the summer means a lot of things. Scorching weather, warm water, summer showers and packed beaches. And these elements combine to make for limitless opportunities over the summer.
So I am going to go over some of my favorite things to do while staying in Miami in the summer.

1. Go to the beach: there’s no better feeling than some sun, cool drinks, spike ball and sandwiches. Just make sure to bring lots of sunscreen because you will get roasted. 50 spf and above usually does the trick.
2. Boat day: if you have access to a boat in the summer there are so many options. Miami and especially the Florida Keys have miles and miles of coral reefs. So you can snorkel, fish and spearfish to your hearts content or just hang out with friends on one of the many sandbars in Miami.
3. The Florida Keys: the keys go from an easy hour and a half long drive to 7 hours and it only gets better the father you. There is beautiful turquoise and blue water on the east and west sides of the keys. There’s iconic Key west and it’s famous restaurants and not to forget the world class fishing experience. With so many different species you are bound to make memories of a lifetime.
4. And lastly summer jobs: I am lucky that there are tons of sailing summer camps so I get a job with the easily over the summer and just sail kids around and teach. Being a camp counselor is a great opportunity, especially as a teenager because it allows you to leave an impression on young kids and you get paid so you have some cash to mess around with during summer and who doesn’t love that.
So those are some of my favorite things to do in Miami during summer.
