    Sorry if this has already been addressed here but does anyone know if BB&T allows pre show tailgating in the parking lot?

    I think it's like other beaches - don't bring glass bottles and you should be fine.

    South Beach and Ft Lauderdale are the most famous and most crowded. Daytona is famous too but that's closer to the Jacksonville show.

    Hollywood beach is not as busy and the West Coast seems to be more laid back.

    I'd stick to South Beach or Ft Lauderdale if I was visiting. Locals go to those beaches too.

    If you have time and want better beaches either head north to Jupiter(1hr) or head south a bit to the upper keys.Key Largo,Islemorada.Here is a link to great park for snorkeling ,boating ,etc.

    Yes, actually there is Deerfield Beach, which is really nice and pretty easy to get to the arena.
    http://www.deerfield-beach.com/index.aspx?NID=17

    To get back to the arena, you would just take Hillsboro Avenue back west. Take a left of US 1.Go about 3/4 mile south to SE 10th, make a right, and the take SE 10th all the way to the Sawgrass Expressway which takes you directly the BB&T Center for the Sunrise/FLL show.

    Also if you are out in Deerfield, check out some great eats at:

    -Charm City (great burgers)
    -El Jefe (authentic Mexican)
    -Whale's Rib (fried fish/shrimp/raw bar)

    -Or on your way back, hit up Tucker Dukes for arguably the best burger in SFLA.

    If you are coming in to town to go to a Miami show:

    Check out two of our world's famous chefs put on an amazing meal for you. A bit on the pricey side, but hell you just flew down to Miami during the most expensive time of year. Live it up. One is a quick uber to the AAArena in the design district:

    Michael's Genuine


    The other is a quick uber drive across the Venetian Causeway

    Those of you in Florida for the first few shows might want to note there will be a SpaceX launch on Friday afternoon. These launches are visible across the state.

  • And are there any other beaches besides south beach that the locals recommend (clean, nice showers, etc)

    I always prefer Key Biscayne... Go to Virginia Key or Crandon Park. They are typically less crowded, and way more laid back... South Beach is fun though for the bars and the topless people. It all depends on what you want. =)
