Being on South Beach for SheCon, I just had to wander down to the beach during today’s lunch to take a gander. One word to describe it? Tropicool.

The water was absolutely stunning today with emerald-green water popping against the nearly white sand. Beach umbrellas add to the scenery. Some are stark white while others multi-colors. I love the lifeguard stations with vibrant colors typically associated with Miami Beach.

Since you can’t join me on the beach, enjoy this video from this afternoon offering a panoramic view.
