Brickell at golden hour: the key, the bay and a rooftop
A loop around Brickell Key, the skyline turning on, and 40 floors up for the drink.
Brickell is towers and water, and the best of it is the mile of path around Brickell Key. Time it so the loop ends as the sun drops behind the skyline, then cross the bridge to Brickell City Centre and ride the elevator at EAST to Sugar.
