There's no better way to experience Miami than from the open cockpit of a Polaris Slingshot. No windshield between you and the salt air, no roof cutting off the skyline views, no walls blocking the sounds of the city. Here are the 12 best things to do in Miami when you rent a Slingshot.
Cruise Ocean Drive at Sunset
The most iconic 1.5 miles in Miami. Art Deco hotels glowing in golden light, palm trees silhouetted against the sky, and the Atlantic Ocean just steps away. In the Slingshot's open cockpit, the evening breeze and the soundtrack of South Beach hit differently.
Explore the Wynwood Walls
Roll slowly through the world's most famous outdoor street art gallery. The Slingshot's low-slung, open design puts you at eye level with the massive murals. Stop wherever you want — the entire district is made for exploration.
Cross the Rickenbacker Causeway
Two elevated bridges over turquoise Biscayne Bay with the Miami skyline behind you and open ocean ahead. The Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne is the most breathtaking drive in Florida — and completely different in a Slingshot than in any regular car.
Drive Brickell at Night
Miami's financial district transforms after dark — glass towers reflected in Biscayne Bay, rooftop bars buzzing above, and the streets nearly empty for a clean cruise. The city-at-night Slingshot experience is unlike anything else.
Roll Down Calle Ocho in Little Havana
SW 8th Street pulses with Cuban culture — dominó games spilling onto the sidewalk, cigar smoke drifting from open doors, and the sounds of salsa from every corner. Rolling through in a Slingshot turns heads and sparks conversations.
Cruise the MacArthur Causeway
The MacArthur Causeway connecting Miami to Miami Beach passes directly through the Port of Miami — cruise ships towering on both sides — with the downtown skyline on one end and South Beach on the other. Stunning in any direction.
Stop at Bayside Marketplace
Bayside sits right on Biscayne Bay with live music, restaurants, and views of the downtown skyline and port. Park the Slingshot for 30 minutes, grab a drink on the water, then continue your cruise. A perfect midpoint stop on any downtown route.
Drive South Bayshore Through Coconut Grove
Coconut Grove's S Bayshore Drive is one of Miami's most beautiful streets — a canopy of banyan trees with glimpses of Biscayne Bay between the mansions. The tree tunnel at speed in an open-cockpit Slingshot is genuinely spectacular.
Photo Stop at the Vizcaya Gates
The Villa Vizcaya Museum & Gardens sits on Biscayne Bay just south of Coconut Grove. Even if you don't go inside, the baroque gates and bay views visible from S Bayshore Drive make for some of the best Slingshot photos in Miami.
Explore the Design District
Just north of Wynwood, the Miami Design District's luxury boutiques, outdoor art installations, and futuristic architecture are best experienced from the open air. Cruise NE 2nd Ave and the pedestrian-friendly blocks for a high-design urban experience.
Watch the Sunset from Virginia Key Beach
Continue past Key Biscayne on the Rickenbacker to Virginia Key Beach — a quieter, less crowded Miami beach with views back toward the skyline. Park the Slingshot and watch the sun go down over the city. One of Miami's most underrated experiences.
The Full Miami Night Cruise
Start at 8 PM and hit everything in one legendary night: pick up from North Miami Beach → South Beach → Wynwood → Brickell → downtown Bayfront → MacArthur Causeway → back to South Beach at midnight. Miami at night from a Slingshot is a bucket-list experience.
