I have no spot recommendations, but La Sandwicherie is amazing and worth the stop.

Lot 11 is being renovated, it opens in November supposedly. Andrew skateshop is right there in the downtown area, it's ok. Not too out of the way from where you'll be. Maybe you can skate around Miami Beach. Haulover Park has a nice beach with a little park, there's a pump track if you want to dodge small children and old men on scooters. I'm not sure how far you want to go.

spent a while in Miami last winter:
beginning and end of the bridge to Virginia key has some fun scenic bank spots, also jersey barriers and benches (you can see the banks in Alltimers Miami leftovers video)

various little spots on and around Brickell Avenue, especially near the W hotel (some in the Magenta Balade video)

didn't find anything amazing in downtown Miami, but it's interestingly decrepit and fun to explore, and there are little manual pads to hit under the monorail on 1st street.  Miami Dade cc near 4th street and 2nd ave has some decent green benches.

There are spots around Bayfront Park but I found it to be a huge bust.

(Soya e Pomodoro was a unique and good Italian restaurant on 1st street.)

I'm pretty certain MIA is out of business.

However, I will say my worst experience at a core shop was at MIA. Since the shop is out of business, I don't feel the need to hide the fact that they were terrible any longer. The shop dude told me to grip my board on the curb outside, because I didn't want him to grip my board.

There is something sacred about gripping a board and I feel really uncomfortable having someone else grip my board.

Worst skate shop experience ever. I loved the MIA video and I was super hyped just to get a shop board and I left so bummed on that place.

Yeahm went to the address today only to find a smoke shop there. Went to Andrew and the guys were cool but weren't to keen on spot indications etc.

If you can make the trip up to WPB or Ft Lauderdale there are some decent shops Post Modern is essentially MIA shop in West Palm Beach.

Not too many core shops here but there are a few that are worth the visit if you've got the time.

I’d bump this out of interest. Will be in Miami this January.
Does anyone know a spot along a beach, food recommendations and neighborhoods that are more chill, maybe more international, away from clubs, bros and champagne?

Thanks so much

I went Miami this spring to escape the Chicago cold for a bit.
Andrew skateshop is legit, I brought my trucks & wheels from home to set up a fresh deck there. Solid selection of what you need.

Lot 11 was still under construction/renovating when I went, so I hit up the North Beach skatepark, it's a fun little park, the locals seemed nice and its right by the beach too. Wynwood has a lot of good food spots, hope this helps.

Lot 11 is open now if you didn’t see. I think they open at 9 from what I can see. I’ll be down there next month to check it out

It’s also in a pretty good zone for street spots too

Honestly West Palm is rad but it has it's spots.  You have to search I mean really search for spots but they're here.

Boynton Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Boca Raton. Lake Worth, West Palm Beach it's chill but you have to search and build up a spot.

Thanks! I’ll be there just for a few days with my wifey. main focus is not skating but Everglades, just skating from a to b, along the beach and maybe a session or two for good weather’s sake.

Andrews would be the shop to check out?

It's pretty much the only legit shop in Miami

I’m seeing some nice looking ledges and a lot of nice looking women. I’m here with my wife and without a skateboard though so what the fuck am I actually doing here really.

Miami is wild. One time I was walking to the beach on a skate trip and ended up in the background of a bang bus episode

Just came back to cold ass boston after a week in Miami and it was so nice.

Great food, everything works in Spanish, painted curbs that slappy perfectly all over, decent flat along Mia beach.
Lot 11 is nice and flowy and the whole city is flat as hell which makes it easy to skate all over.
