    A long pedestrianised street in Miami Beach full of shops and restaurants. A good variety of shops and plenty of places to stop for food and /or a drink. Worth a visit if in Miami Beach

    This is a great park to visit. Fantastic views out to sea and up along the beach. Nice places to sit and relax and also restaurants to enjoy. One of my favourite parts of South Beach

    Absolutely fantastic! Jan Piazzetta was our tour guide and she made the experience a memorable one for us. We were able to experience all that we had hoped for and more. Very informative and on time as promised. Highly recommend this trip

    I walked along the boardwalk every day of the week that I stayed in South Beach. The path is nice and smooth, busy with lots of people walking, running, roller blading, and biking. The path is windy and goes from Ocean Drive, to the beach, and back, several times.

    This is the iconic street in Miami Beach full of art deco buildings, bars and restaurants. It is also next to the beach.

    Expect to pay top end prices (e.g $20 cocktails etc) for food and drinks. Try and come out for Happy Hour which in most places is between 4 and 7pm.

    It is also a good place for people watching

    I had a great time at the museum. I went for a history talk by Howard Brayer, he was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant person. I learned of the history of Miami Beach which I never knew. I have lived here over 30 years and had no idea the Jews have contributed so much to Miami Beach. I loved it, I recommend for you to stop by if you are in the area.

    An informative and thought provoking memorial. The graphic panels are very well done and perfectly illustrated the horror of the Holocaust. Volunteer guides are helpful and knowledgeable.

    The atmosphere and restaurants along this street are wonderful. It's an oasis of charm and activity amidst some more lackluster areas nearby. The only downside is that it's only about one block long.

    The premier circus burlesque show in Miami. Par excellence. The costumes, the dancing, the aerial acts and acrobatics and the delightful host, Rocky. A fabulous way to spend an evening

    We were in Miami Beach South for 4 days. I did not expect much froma "city-beach", but we were surprised. The beach is very long (go on for many many km) and is not overcrowded, not even in the most famous part .....there is possibility to rent beach beds and umbrellas in every part of it, the water was warm and nice. Considering we are in a city, was a great beach

    Collins Avenue is huge and has lots of shops and restaurants and it is parallels to the beach. If you are courageous or like to walk, I advise to walk tall though this Avenue

    While staying in the McAlpin.. a historic hotel on ocean blvd we decided to join the walking tour via the art deco welcome center. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide and approximately 30 people along for the tour. We were given headphones and a receiver with 50 ft range. We walked around a 3 block area and visited many buildings of note while our tour guide walked us through the decades and how the evolution of the design aesthetics came aboutā€¦ highly recommended. It was a very interesting tour of about 90 minutes. I never would have thought to go to the Miami Beach post office to see a great example of art deco architecture.
