Lifestyle’s Guide to Summer Fun, Part 8

Paddle Under the Stars: Stand-up paddleboarding fills a few summertime squares, from enhancing your core muscles to snagging some SPF-appropriate rays. But evenings on the water can be just as exhilarating. Morningside Watersports in Miami offers a Full Moon SUP Tour that starts around sunset and includes a bonfire party after the paddle. Meanwhile, Park & Ocean inside Hugh Taylor Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale, boasts a Full Moon Kayak Tour that runs along a freshwater coastal dune lake.

Shop ’til You Drop: The largest outlet shopping destination in the United States just held a job fair to fill 500 positions—so you know that Sawgrass Mills is gearing up for a busy summer. If you haven’t been to the mega-complex in Sunrise (think some 2.5 million square of retail space), there are now more than 350 stores (including 70-plus luxury outlet brands) and 16 restaurants.

Sway to the Sounds: The 37th annual Underwater Music Festival (July 10) is exactly as advertised—an underwater concert for divers and snorkelers.
