Downtown Miami is where the boats leave from: Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park host the Biscayne Bay sightseeing fleet, with the Kaseya Center, the Frost Science Museum and the Pérez Art Museum (PAMM) all within a short walk.
Start a first visit here — a bay cruise in the afternoon, museum morning the next day, and the Metromover loops the whole district for free.
