Miami is a thriving, high-energy city where a lot of things are always happening, and there is never any shortage of fun things to do.

If anything, there is an overabundance of riches-with so many great options, you may have trouble narrowing down the choices.

If you plan to head to the Miami Beach area, here are some things you may want to try in and around that region.

Stay at a property that has it all. Exclusive Group Travel now offers the ability to coordinate great stays at Eden Roc Miami Beach, a resort property with terraced oceanfront gardens that also offers a casino, four swimming pools (one of which is adults-only), and close access to the beach. Plus, there's a beauty salon, fitness center and spa-and it's a perfect place for a wedding!

Hit the beach. This is probably a no-brainer, as it would seem silly to come to Miami and miss the opportunity to check out the great beaches here. With such a large selection you can pick the ones that best match what you're seeking. There are crowded party spots, low-key beaches for the family, and even dog-friendly beaches. Virtually all of them offer warm water, white sandy shores and amazing views.

Get a workout in the great outdoors. The incredible climate means you can enjoy outdoor activities all year round in Miami. Choose from playing a few rounds on the golf courses, connecting with nature in the lush green parks, or even taking a yoga class on the beach. There are also endless places to run, walk or ride a bike. Great for a fun-and free-way to get fresh air and burn off some calories.

Be kind to your budget. You might be surprised to discover many free or low-cost things to do in Miami. There are the beaches, of course. But you will also find an assortment of parks, natural attractions, landmarks and many other things to do and see that cost little or nothing at all. In addition, there are often special occasions when museums and other attractions will offer free admission.

Explore historical and cultural attractions. The wide variety of landmarks and cultural attractions all around the Miami area provide intriguing sites to visit-and are also terrific for family outings, as they will interest all ages. The city has plenty of museums, along with historic sites featuring a range of distinctive architectural styles.

Have fun on the water. This is the perfect place to enjoy all sorts of water activities. Whether you enjoy fishing, sailing, kayaking, jet-skiing, snorkeling or canoeing-it's all easy to do from many spots around the city. You can also go swimming in the warm ocean waters.

Revel in the nightlife. Miami is famous for its nightlife, so if it's entertainment and music you are seeking, you won't have to look very hard to find it. There are hotpots that host nonstop parties, or rooftop bars where you can enjoy a sophisticated cocktail. Plenty of venues host live music, including local bands and the hottest new artists.
