Miami lacks real beach towns. The drive from Carlsbad through La Jolla and mission beach is down to downtown San Diego is nothing like the drive south from say lake worth to dt Miami Beach . Many more walkable pedestrian areas in the case of San Diego
Yea, I haven't been there, but South Florida beach towns don't look interesting via google maps. Just a bunch of bland highrises and not many commercial areas. Pass.
