And everywhere, for Latin visitors, window displays of electronic gear can be seen. In the heart of Miami's downtown, Flagler Street is today the nation's largest retail export district. Otherwise, public transportation in Miami is poor, and smart tourists get around by car. On the Key are the Miami Seaquarium, the remarkably lovely county parks on Virginia Key, and Crandon Park. At the far end of the Key is Bill Boggs Cape Florida State Park with its historic lighthouse awaiting restoration.
Some visitors simply collapse onto the beaches of Miami and remain there throughout their stays.
More active sorts pursue multiple offers of scuba diving, sailing, surfing, waterskiing, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, motorboating, windsurfing, jet skiing, and pier fishing. Much of that takes place on Key Biscayne, downtown at Bayside Marina, at Miami Beach and Miami Beach Marina, at Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove, along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, and at Biscayne National Park. Some 25 golf courses are also open to public play, including the famed Blue Monster at the Doral Country Club. For tennis, the largest concentration of courts is at Flamingo Park in Miami Beach. But almost every weekend of the year two or three smaller festivals take place.
