Stores rarely let customers use their
restrooms, and many restaurants offer their facilities only for their patrons. However, most malls have
bathrooms, as do many fast-food restaurants. Public beaches and large parks often provide toilets, though
in some places you have to pay or tip an attendant. Most large hotels have clean restrooms in their
lobbies.

As always, use your common sense and be aware
of your surroundings at all times. Don't walk alone at night, and be extra wary when walking or driving
though downtown Miami and surrounding areas.

signs on the state's most tourist-traveled routes.
