First Time in MIAMI
 
Hello...<BR><BR>Heading down to Miami for Labor Day Weekend...I'm staying at the Indian Creek Hotel. I'm mainly going down for some r&r and lazing at the beach with my mom and little sister (she's 15, and I'm 27). <BR><BR>What's the best beach in the Miami/South Beach area?<BR><BR>How much are beach chair rentals? Should we bring our own?<BR><BR>Also, any restaurant recommendations?<BR><BR>Any ideas, advice in general would be much appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks all for reading and writing back :)

The News Cafe is a must! Good food, good prices, you won't be sorry.<BR>

Hello again..thanks Jenna for your recommendation :)<BR><BR>Just did a bit more research and wanted to let y'all (wise and generous travel gurus, that is) know that I will be staying in the Miami Beach area just above South Beach, near Collins Ave around 23rd St. Thanks again, and please help!!!
