If you’re thinking about moving to Florida but aren’t sure where to go, today’s post will show you how close several of the major cities are to one another. Start in Miami and look at West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa. Even if you don’t plan to frequent all of these cities, it pays to know the difference. And, no matter where you live, remember self storage units are just a quick click away when you use SecureSpace Self Storage.
Miami To Fort Lauderdale – 28 Miles – Approximately One Hour
Miami and Fort Lauderdale are relatively close neighbors, and, even with fairly heavy traffic, you can expect about a one hour commute to and from each city. If you’re not big on driving and are heading into Fort Lauderdale Airport, you can take the Tri-Rail for a little less than $4 per person. If you’re looking to get to Miami Beach, you’ll find bus service every 15 minutes from the Miami Airport. If you’re out looking at storage units and get an urge to head up to Fort Lauderdale, you can hit 95 from SecureSpace on Coral Way.
Miami To West Palm Beach – 71 Miles – Approximately Two Hours
If you have two hours to spare and want to see the glitz of West Palm Beach, get in the car and head north. However, the quickest way from Miami to West Palm Beach is using the commuter train, which will cost you around $39. If you don’t mind a shuttle, you can usually find transportation for about $55, and the bus may get you there for as low as $8. West Palm Beach is a great day trip if you’re in Miami checking out apartments, condos, and storage units.
Miami To Tampa – 280 Miles – Approximately 4.5 Hours
A nearly 4 ½ hour jaunt across the state via the Florida Turnpike and I75 is Tampa, where you’ll find Busch Gardens and the Florida Aquarium. This is a great weekend trip from Miami, or an easy flight if you don’t mind the cost. If you time it just right by leaving after morning rush hour, you might be able to make it in about four hours and 15 minutes. You might also opt to ride the bus, and the Red Coach goes from Miami to Tampa once each day. The most relaxing way to get back and forth from city to city is via Amtrak, which clocks about five hours and 20 minutes but offers free Wi-Fi and the option to upgrade to an actual room.
While you might not think of places to visit outside of Miami, FL, while looking at storage units, it never hurts to know where to go and how long it will take you to get there. Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Tampa are three of the greatest day to weekend trips, and each of these cities will give you the best of Florida. You just have to decide if you want to travel for an hour or half the day.
