A Mini Guide: Experience Miami Beach
December 16, 2024
Welcome to Miami Beach, where the sun, surf, and city vibes collide to create an unforgettable experience. Whether competing, spectating, or just soaking in the TYR Wodapalooza energy, Miami Beach has something for everyone.
Here’s your guide to exploring, relax, and recharge while staying in peak form.
Morning Glory: Energize and Explore
Start your day the Miami way, with a sunrise and sweat session. Jog along the Miami Beach Boardwalk, a scenic stretch that hugs the coastline. Feeling extra adventurous? Join a sunrise yoga class on the sand to center yourself before the action kicks off.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head to Pura Vida for a protein-packed acai bowl or their signature avocado toast. This local favorite is as much about the vibe as the fresh, organic fuel that’ll keep you energized all day.
Midday Magic: Discover Miami’s Charm
Looking to explore? Dive into Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco district. Wander down Ocean Drive and bask in the vibrant pastel facades that scream vintage Miami glam. Don’t forget to snap a selfie with the palm-tree-lined backdrop!
For those who want to mix culture with relaxation, check out the Bass Museum of Art or rent a bike and cruise through South Pointe Park, where the views of the Atlantic are as refreshing as the ocean breeze.
Fuel Up Like a Local
When hunger strikes, Miami Beach has plenty of spots tailored to the fitness crowd. Carrot Express is a go-to for clean eats, offering everything from hearty grain bowls to zesty wraps. Need a caffeine boost? Swing by Panther Coffee for an iced cold brew that packs a punch.
Looking to grab a quick bite without compromising on your macros? Stop by Joe & the Juice for a lean turkey sandwich and one of their signature fresh juices.
Evening Chill: Wind Down or Amp Up
As the sun sets, Miami Beach comes alive in a whole new way. Join a sunset boat ride to experience the city’s skyline from the water—it’s the perfect way to reflect on the day while taking in the views. Prefer land vibes? Lounge at The Broken Shaker, a laid-back cocktail bar with a tropical twist that’s ideal for catching up with friends.
If you’re looking for a more fitness-focused evening, check out WZA’s after-hours community events or hit up a rooftop bar like Juvia for panoramic views and healthy bites that don’t skimp on flavor.
