22 Surreal Places In Miami You Won't Believe Really Exist
Miami is more than palm trees and bars. The city has unusual places and almost forgotten. A drive through Old Culter Road or Homestead will take you on a mini vacay. Take the weekend off and explore the surreal places Miami has around. Some of these places require a bit of a drive, but that's the best part of the adventure.
Where: 19501 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura
This place is completely new but is all over social media. The shopping mall has transformed into a paradise with flamingo floats and colorful walls.

Where: 40001 State Road 9336, Homestead
The Everglades is home to many alligators and snakes. But don't worry, they won't bite (if you don't get too close). There are many things to do here. You can go camping, boating, cycling, kayaking, and fishing. Maybe a little bit of hiking too. You can also take one of the airboat ride tours and explore the wildlife.

The wood stilt houses stand in the middle of the ocean one mile south of Cape Florida. You have to get by boat to see the surreal houses. Back in the 1950s, this was the place to be and be seen. After Hurricane King, most of the stilt houses were damaged and sold. Explore what remains of the houses and take a trip with your friends. You can jump into the ocean and make your own exclusive party.
The oolite limestone castle is located in Homestead and it can't get more surreal than this. An eccentric man used to live here with no real bed or furniture.

Maybe you can stay for a night and watch the stars.

We suggest you visit before it grows in popularity. No matter how long it takes you to get here, it's a place worth visiting.
