While Miamians love their beaches, there's something to be said about a day at the pool. And few pools compare to this fresh water paradise. Created by local designer Denman Fink in the 1920s, the space was originally a rock quarry and was transformed into a gorgeous swimming pool featuring coral caves, waterfalls, canals, fountains, and even a man-made island. Magical is just one way to describe this truly unique attraction. The pool's impeccable condition is maintained by daily drainage and an evening refill of more than 800,000 gallons of artesian water. Venetian Pool is even listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
