Route & Parking Pointers
Deering after golden hour: bring bug spray, respect posted hours, and avoid blocking gates in residential zones. For Coconut Grove’s narrow lanes, choose shorter wheelbases. If you plan a finale at Miami Beach for night photos, consider staging by the sand to keep late returns simple.
Leave the Biltmore for last to catch uplighting on the tower—watch for speed humps and 25 mph pockets around the golf course. If you’re traveling with tripods and costumes, a quick space‑friendly pickup helps keep the cabin tidy. Northbound exits to Broward tend to flow after 10:30 p.m.; those returning via FLL can reposition to that airport for an easier morning flight.
Respect & Safety
Most historic sites close at set times—stay outside fences, skip flash where prohibited, and keep noise down in leaf‑canopied neighborhoods. Use hazards when loading gear and never block fire lanes at hotels or event halls.
