Nothing like a walk on the beach. Goodness knows there has been plenty
enough written about the benefits of walking in sand. Sand is good but
let’s face it, sand can find its way into most everything and if you are out of town, staying in a hotel room, the last thing you want to do is track sand into the room. Yes, I know there are showers for that. But when an option presents itself, I take that route.
In Miami, that would be the Boardwalk on South Beach. I was in town for the
Super Bowl (Who Dat!) and found the Boardwalk to offer a pleasant and
sand-free way to get some exercise while taking in the beauty of the
Atlantic Ocean.
According to runtheplanet.com, the wooden boardwalk along the beach runs between 21st and 49th Streets and is about 2 miles long.
I took in the Boardwalk on the north end of South Beach and stopped in
for lunch at Carrabbas, which was delicious. Fairly windy that day –
the lettuce was actually flying out of my grilled mahi mahi ceasar
salad.
With so much of the country digging their way out of snow, maybe
a few thoughts of walking along a beachside boardwalk will warm you up!
