- Use the free Miami Beach Trolley to get around and avoid notoriously expensive parking fees.
- Take a walking tour of the Art Deco Historic District early in the morning to beat the heat and crowds.
- Ocean Drive is great for people-watching, but dining there is often overpriced; explore parallel streets for better value.

Miami Beach is far more than just a suburb of Miami; it is a separate city on a barrier island located between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Known for the historic Art Deco District with its pastel-colored buildings from the 1930s, the city provides a unique blend of history and modern glamour. South Beach, the southernmost part, is the epicenter for fashion, world-class dining, and world-renowned clubs. Miami Beach itself stretches for miles, offering fine sand and the warm, clear waters of the Gulf Stream. Whether at the bustling Ocean Drive or the quieter sections further north, the beach is the heart of the city. Here, visitors find the iconic, colorful lifeguard towers that are a popular photo subject. The beachfront promenade invites jogging, inline skating, or simply strolling. In addition to beach life, Miami Beach features cultural highlights such as the New World Center and numerous art galleries. Lincoln Road Mall is one of the most famous pedestrian streets for outdoor shopping and dining. Travel is typically via Miami International Airport, followed by an impressive drive across the bridges connecting the island to the mainland.
