10 Things to do in Miami in the Summer
Summer has officially begun in Florida,
and we here at Dharma would like to address a myth that we hear all too often. The great myth is that you should only vacation in
Florida during the winter month
s, when our beaches and sun are a welcome respite from the cold and clouds of winter. People overlook the advantages of coming to
South Florida on our “off season”.
First and foremost, you
can take advantage of the lower prices for accommodations.
Dharma’s furnished apartments for rent at Red Road Commons, Grand Plaza, Monte Carlo, and Sheridan Ocean Club are proof of that.
You can get a fully furnished apartment suite
in the
heart of Miami or right on the beach at a 40% savings
as compared to booking in December. There are also less crowds to deal with while
going to tourist attractions like Wynwood Walls
. But don’t be fooled:
less crowds does not mean less fun.
There are still many things to do in South Florida in the summer.
Here are ten fun outdoor activities you can enjoy in Florida i
n the month of July:

Freshwaterfishingadvice.com
,
the absolute best time to fish in Miami
is in the summer and fall seasons. Because of the
warmer water temperatures
, this is the time when the most fish come through our waters. You can book a
