Go roller blading!
by Weener
Rollerblading on Ocean Drive! It just HAS to be done! Everyone does it. It’s the coolest form of transport on South Beach, if you don’t have a convertible sports car of course! Blades can be rented from the hut on 14th Street beach for $9 an hour (at time of writing this article), which includes all the much needed extra padding for knees, hands and head! Its hard work on first attempt, but you soon get the hang of it. Luckily Ocean Drive has a wall all the way along South Beach, so you can grab onto it when you are first starting out!!
Rollerblading on the strip
by vanessadb
If you know how to rollerblade, there is a nice boardwallk along the beach perfect for that. You thus won't alone but will be able to encounter all types of characters... some very funny ones too!
You'll also be able to enjoy beautiful views of the art deco buildings of the strip....
The pricey stuff is located on the beach

There are trendy shops on Washington Avenue, Ocean Drive and even Collins Ave on South Beach. But the prices are way up. For better deals, hit a shopping mall (Aventura in N. Miami Beach or Dadeland or the Falls in South Miami.) too much
late night dancing
by Shaft28 about Crobar
Just a few blocks from the main strip and over by 15th or 17th or so you can find a hotspot Crobar.
The rub- to get in you need to be there before 11pm as it is too crowded. But we went and at 10:40 is still was 30 minutes from opening...
Expect to start late and wait in line, best bet.
Fun spot, lots of tourists and locals.
We enjoyed ourselves, just watchout on the drink prices. Expensive here. no jeans, sneakers or shorts
Taxi Rate to SOuth Beach
by pulgaron
If you land at Miami International Airport, the cab fare should be a flat rate of $28.00. Do not let the cabbie turn on the meter. If you are driving from the mainland to the beach see my Venetian Causeway travel logue.
If your are going to saty at the beach only, you can pretty much walk every where in SOBE. For traveling a bit further scooters are very popular. If you are going back to explore the mainland or north beach, better to rent a car.
