And I dare say that fashionistas aren't the only ones who love good retail therapy!

Men, women, children, teens, couples, and even seniors — everyone loves a bargain!

And if you didn't already know, North Miami Beach is one of South Florida's regional shopping areas due to its proximity to bustling retail and entertainment destinations like Aventura Mall, The Village at Gulfstream Park, Bal Harbour Shops, and, of course, it's very own Intracoastal Mall, which is a perfect destination for a quick shopping trip without the long drive!

We're talking luxury items, a myriad of your favorite clothing brands, and endless opportunities for great finds!

Did you know North Miami Beach is a proud home to 24 parks and recreational facilities?

Yes, you read it right — 2-4!

Sure, most are smaller than others around South Florida, but when city life gets too overwhelming, it's always handy to have a peaceful park to visit and connect with nature!

The front-runners of the bunch?

Greynold Park and Oleta State River Park!

A gorgeous oasis considered Florida's largest urban park, Oleta River State Park boasts a protected river estuary where you can rent kayaks or paddleboards and explore the mangrove-lined waterway to spot wading birds and other wildlife.

Oleta River State Park also offers 15 miles of trails for mountain biking or communing with nature and a serene, secluded beach for swimming and sunbathing.

Meanwhile, Greynolds Park is a 223-acre park known for its golf course, relatively intact hardwood hammock and mangrove forest, and eco-tours around the rookery, mangrove boardwalk, observation mound, paved path, and historical boathouse!

Greynolds Park also has another section with an expansive, free-roam dog park, East Greynolds Park, so if you want to bring Fido along, it's the perfect relaxing destination!

Set out for a fun day of exploration around North Miami Beach!

Due to its ideal location near a few of South Florida's top destinations, including the communities of Bal Harbour, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Hallandale Beach, Miami Beach, and more, NMB is the perfect starting point for your grand adventure!

But if you don't want to cross over to a different area, you can stay and enjoy North Miami Beach's top tourist spots!

If you want to experience history, drop by the Monastery of Saint Bernard de Clairvaux, NMB's famous reconstructed monastery dating back to 1133 AD, where visitors transport themselves back to 12th-century Spain or feel like they've gone on a day trip to Europe!

Meanwhile, if it's a journey through the local art scene that you seek, plan a trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art, a world-class museum with various exhibitions from rising contemporary artists, such as Alice Rahona, Cecilia Vincuña, and Liene Bosquê, and a permanent collection of approximately 500 modern art pieces from around the globe!

Whichever you choose, it'll be an experience you'd want to repeat over and over again!

Contrary to most people's first impressions about suburban communities, North Miami Beach doesn't scrimp on nightlife and entertainment destinations!

In fact, you can have a ton of fun around this thriving neighborhood without needing to travel to known party areas like Miami, South Beach, or Fort Lauderdale (though you can in less than 30 minutes!).

For a taste of the Miami nightlife, visit NMB's famous waterfront restaurant and lounge, Lique Miami, the perfect spot for music, cocktails, and delicious after-drink dishes!

At Lique Miami, you can stay until the wee hours while downing perfectly crafted Mojitos or Moscow Mules with your buddies!

You also have Duffy's Sports Grill, a spot to catch the big game while enjoying classic American fare.

Duffy's also has a gorgeous waterfront patio where you share a party platter with the gang while savoring the surreal ambiance — and a few bottles of national and international brews!
