Picnics en Miami

Summer evenings last until well into what would become the night in the winter time so when the sun lashes out so strong in Miami is a good time to go out and make a "picnic" Summer with family or your partner and escape the pressures of the day doing an inexpensive and relax parentheses but where to go? Here I give you some possibilities.

• As I live in Key Biscayne I'll start at home, Park Bill Baggs I love it and if you dare to bring the bike or come in even better bike. You have a path that goes around the island by sea and in the end is the beach. There are tables and grills for grilling meat or fish. Speaking of fish there are also small fishing piers and if you can get lucky and you get a beautiful fish you can snack but you better bring an alternative for if you do not feel like eating fishing immediately. My brother is a great spearfishing curiously happens that, you can not eat your game the same day, as if he had respect for the fish ....! 

Entrance to the park costs $ 8 per vehicle with up to 8 people and if you come by bike will cost $ 2 per rider. The advantage of this park is that if it rains there are places where you know that shelter summer nights downpours are a bit unpredictable. Also after a gluttonous you can give a tour of the lighthouse or roads bordered by vegetation that offers this park.
