Guidebook for Cutler Bay + Miami/Beach Fun!
Drinks & Nightlife
You get nature + good food + blues/light rock music at night. This is very casual. We've seen manatees and dolphins in the lagoon. There are signs warning of crocodiles -- this is adjacent to Biscayne National Park -- so keep your eyes open! But don't get freaked out. Just look where you're going.

On the water, feed the pelicans. Loud. Food is not great, but the atmosphere is fantastic. There’s dancing at night. Take the Card Sound route to/from the Keys.

The beach here is good, and you can also rent kayaks and single-sail (lateen-rig) sailboats -- akin to Sunfish -- and really enjoy Biscayne Bay. There's a small admission fee.

If you get sick, telephone "911" for an ambulance. This is the nearest hospital to my home, but I recommend Baptist Hospital or Jackson Memorial Hospital (near downrown Miami).

Totally awesome water views, great food. Dine on the outside balcony. The desserts are great. You'll never forget the view! On the west side of U.S. 1 in Key Largo at 103900 Overseas Highway, which is what they call U.S. 1 in the Keys.

Great breakfasts -- and they also serve lunch and dinner. If you crave a good bagel, this is obviously the place to go, but their omelettes and French Toast are delicious, too. Fast, friendly service.

Debbie Allen has the best Key Lime pie you have ever even imagined -- and in all of the Caribbean flavors! My favorite is tamarind, but mango is fantastic. You'll never go back to supermarket key lime pie again...

A good place to meet locals -- the tables are close together so it's easy to find people to meet. At breakfast, try the grits for a real Southern-style meal.

McCafe coffee is 1/2 the price and twice as good as Starbucks coffee. You already know the menu. But do you know that if you're over a certain age, you can order a "senior coffee" for 69 cents? Go here before getting on the Turnpike. Open 24/7. My favorite restaurant (LOL). No, really.

You know that when the red sign is on, the donuts are hot from the oven, right? You have got to have a hot glazed donut at least once in your life. Maybe only once, because (IMHO), they're probably not all that good for your health.

It's a Denny's. Inexpensive, extensive American cuisine menu. It's open early, late, and in-between. Good for groups. On Sunday mornings, get there before about 11:30 AM -- the church-goers line up for breakfast after services and the waits for a table can exceed 15 minutes.

Lovely restaurant and bar, fantastic views of Miami skyline and of Biscayne Bay. The happy hour food is fantastic -- really innovative menu -- and their bar drinks are legendary. Watch out for the marina heavy equipment moving around as you turn off the Causeway. BTW: there's a toll leaving Miami and entering Key Biscayne.

Order a Cuban toast ('una tostada') and a cafe con leche to start off your day with a kick! I usually order a small 'colada' -- a small cup of Cuban coffee (espresso with sugar). Don't be surprised that they serve it to you with a bunch of tiny cups. It's meant to be shared. But I want all the caffeine for me.

Good Cuban food at reasonable prices -- a key restaurant to say you've been to Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. Plentiful parking in front of the restaurant or across the side street. Bring your appetite! Work off that food later at the Ball & Chain Restaurant, on SW 8th Street ("Calle Ocho")
