About South Beach Miami

South Beach is the crown jewel of Miami Beach, where Art Deco architecture meets white sand and turquoise waters. The beach stretches from South Pointe Park to 23rd Street, offering wide sandy shores backed by the iconic pastel-colored hotels and restaurants of Ocean Drive. The area pulses with energy—from morning yoga sessions and volleyball games to the vibrant nightlife scene after dark. Lummus Park runs parallel to the beach, providing a shaded path for joggers and cyclists. South Beach is also a cultural hub, home to the Art Deco Historic District, world-class restaurants, and boutiques. Whether you're celebrity-watching, dancing to Latin beats, or simply soaking up the sun, South Beach delivers an unforgettable experience.
