Beating the layover @ MIA
I'll be in MIA for seven (i.e. from landing to departure) hours (coming back from LIM, before going to SFO). What can I do during this time? Go to the beach?
Thanks,
Alex
PS: I've never been to Miami.

You have plenty of time. If you have not been to Miami before, I would head to South Beach.
During heavy traffic, the travel time will take you 45 minutes from the airport. Plan on heavy traffic for the return, that leaves you with 4 hours at south beach (if you are also leaving 1 1/2 hours for checkin). More than enough time. Cabs are plentiful to catch back to the airport.

Thanks for the help
Are there any must do/see things?
