Staying overnight in Miami, what to do?
My wife and I are going on our Honeymoon in two weeks. We are flying out of Kansas and staying in Miami overnight on the 12th of December. Our cruise leaves the 13th, but we still want to experience Miami for the single night we are staying there.
I have never seen the ocean. I have never been to Florida. I want something a little off the beaten path, I am not into tourist traps if they can be avoided. What can/should we do? Any good non-chain restaurants we can dine at? We are open to try anything, on the cheap if possible.

South Beach is great. Do not get a car. Traffic is horrible and parking is difficult. Take a cab to South Beach, or even better, stay in South Beach. The beach there is great, and there's tons of restaurants and bars. Walk up and down Lincoln Road. Get drunk and go to the beach late at night.
First time in Miami? Take my advice, please.

Little Havana/Calle Ocho is a bit touristy, but you get get great, cheap Cuban every five feet there.
The Rubell Family Collection is also wonderful, and definitely off the beaten path. It's a private collection, lots of amazing contemporary art, and it's in an old DEA warehouse, for added fun.

Just head over to Lincoln Road. You get a very Miami experience just strolling by shops, you can eat, visit galleries and if you can make it to Collins Avenue, glance at the old Versace house. Lincoln Road is really your best bet.
