Beaches in Miami
The United States has roughly 95,000 miles of shoreline, and almost all public beach access is free. What varies is the season, the lifeguard cover and the hazards — rip currents cause the large majority of surf rescues, so the flag system below is worth knowing before you go.

Paddle sports run on flat water and white water alike: sea kayak tours, SUP outings, downriver canoe trips and guided rafting days. Guided trips are booked directly with outfitters, who supply the boat, paddle and buoyancy aid — this page covers how to choose one safely.

Every US state sells its own fishing licence, and you need one almost everywhere before you cast — including in most national parks. Tournaments and derbies are run by clubs and sanctioning bodies rather than ticket sellers, but the big consumer expos, where charter captains and tackle brands take bookings for the season, are ticketed.

Festival season peaks between May and October, but the calendar never really stops — state fairs in late summer, harvest and pumpkin festivals in autumn, and winter light trails and holiday markets from November.
