Miami Beach, situated on a barrier island and connected to the mainland by several bridges, comprises a variety of peaceful residential sections, vibrant entertainment districts, and expansive stretches of soft-sand beaches. Many of the island’s most incredible sights and activities may be found on South Beach, the southernmost and most historic part.
One of the best tourist attractions in the city is Miami Beach’s Art Deco Historic District, which features pastel 1930s and 1940s buildings with vintage neon signs. This area is a pricy tourist hotspot with many beachfront lodging options, businesses, dining options, and sunbathing opportunities.
The primary thoroughfare in this region is Beach Drive, a stretch of road that runs beside the ocean and is lined with stunning Art Deco structures. From May 2020 to May 2022, Ocean Drive was only open to pedestrian traffic; however, one-way vehicular traffic was allowed from 15th Street to 5th Street.
Collins Avenue is located one block inland and runs parallel to Ocean Drive. Collins Avenue, which connects several areas in Miami Beach, is State Road A1A.
After-beach lunch at Taquiza is ideal because of their fantastic house-made michelada. It promises organic blue masa tortillas, which are milled daily and filled with new protein or, if you’re feeling particularly daring, grasshoppers, like its twin further south. A basket of guacamole and crispy tots is a must-have. I mean, really. Don’t. We favor this location because it has a lovely patio that looks out into the ocean and is set inside a motel formerly an Art Deco building.
