Miami - Docking
Miami and Miami Beach are separate cities, but both are included in this list. Miami Beach is located on the barrier island east of Miami.
Dockage options in Miami Beach are typically more expensive than Miami, but many cruisers take advantage of the copious anchorage options and forego the marinas altogether. Some marinas charge a fee to land a dinghy at their docks.
To differentiate between Miami and Miami Beach marinas, check the address of the listing.

**BEWARE IF COMING STRAIGHT FROM CUBA!!***
We sailed from Havana to Miami, as we’d been advised that customs at Key West can be funny about boats arriving from Cuba. However we were denied a Cruising Permit by the officer in Miami. This means we have to sail to the Bahamas, check in and pay $300 before sailing back to the U.S. (Our boat is British).

This explains the difficulties that can be encountered when sailing directly to the US from Cuba.
