Suggestions for activites to do in Miami

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I went through the FAQ to see if there's a sticky or subreddit for travel suggestions but I couldn't find anything. It's entirely possible that I missed it since it's late; if so I will happily move it to the proper place once I know where that is!

My friends and I (age 23-24) are going to Miami in the last weekend of January (27-30). We don't drink much so we are looking for non-alcoholic activities that we can do throughout the day and nighttime.

I'd really appreciate recommendations for any of the following:

  • Active things to do that are cheap (water sports, beach activities, biking, stuff like that)
  • Pool halls, bowling alleys, mini golf places if they're unique
  • Hookah bars
  • Good restaurant spots: Cuban, Mexican, Sushi and Japanese in general, unique dessert spots (especially ice cream), and any other particularly unique Miami food spots in general
  • Any particularly unique activities that we should be doing in Miami that's unique to the city

So far I think the only thing we have on our agenda is possibly going to Key West for a day. I would appreciate any help. Thanks guys!

One of my favorite cheap places to eat in Miami is El palacio de los Jugos on flagler.. For like $10 you get a styrofoam container full of delicious cuban food that weighs like 3 pounds and is enough to feed at least 2 or 3 people. They also sell practically any juice you can think of for $2 and coconut water cut fresh in the coconut for like $2.50.

Co-sign! Palacio de Los Jugos is legit, U feast for cheap on authentic recipes and u can't go to palacio de Los jugos and not try some of their juice! I'm a tamarind man myself. Highly recommended
