Key Biscayne! you could go to the park at the end of the island or the beaches along the causeway

Key Biscayne!! 100%. There’s a public entrance between the ocean club and beach club, or either the state park / Crandon park.

Beautiful day. I’m there right now.

The whole island actually has pretty much zero crime. Very safe.

I like the northern beaches around Hollywood - always felt keys are overrated

Another for Key Biscayne. If you have Marriott Points it’s worth booking the Ritz for a few nights. They have a splash pad and kids pool plus kids activities everyday.

Virginia Key is the best or north beach (surfside). Keys provide best diving / snorkeling but limited / bad beaches

Fort Lauderdale beach is great for families. There is a big public parking lot at the south end across from the Jungle Queen and Bahia Mar hotel. The beach immediately to the north is also nice and has lots of shops and right across the street.

Hollywood beach is also nice to the south of FLL and has a boardwalk.

South Beach on Miami Beach is nice and has some of the widest sand. More upscale nearby but also is not as family friendly sometimes.

The keys generally have small, poor, artificial beaches, other than Key Biscayne. It’s a nice drive over the Overseas Highway and there are a lot of kitschy tourist stops along the way. Kids might enjoy feeding the tarpon at Robbie’s. It’s a long boring drive with small kids though.

Key Biscayne is technically “the keys” but has nothing to do with “the keys” as anyone would think of them. It’s a 10 minute drive from downtown onto a super nice, wealthy island. Nothing tacky about it, or touristy.

Sunny isles

Can't wait to move to Miami and join y'all !

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do.

Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
