🏖️ Day 2: Miami Beach and Outdoor Activities 🏋️

🌊 Miami Beach (South Beach)

Miami Beach is best known for its iconic South Beach, with its pristine white sand, azure waters, and colorful lifeguard huts. I spent the entire morning soaking up the sun and even tried my hand at jet skiing 🚤.

✨ Recommendations:
• For photos: South Beach's Art Deco district is perfect for vintage shots.
• For exercise: Water activities like stand-up paddleboarding and parasailing are available near the beach.

💪 Outdoor Fitness Center (Muscle Beach)

Near the beach is a popular outdoor fitness center called Muscle Beach. Fitness enthusiasts often demonstrate strength training techniques here, and many locals use it as a free gym. I also stretched my muscles and felt the heat of outdoor fitness.
