84 Reviews pictured is the dock across collins ave from the fontainbleau hotel. this non descript mooring has some significance in the history of miami beach. in the 1960's the houseboat from the televison show "surf side 6" was moored there. also another house boat moored there was where the murderer of...
26 Reviews Bayside is wonderful!! My mother and I had a lovely time shopping there. There was live music (every night), a magician, and a man that let you take pictures posing with his pet macaw parrots. There are a bunch of good little places to eat, including chains like Hard Rock and Bubba Gump Shrimp!...

20 Reviews I used to pass by the original La Carreta resto in front of the Indian Embassy in La Habana and when I was a student in Miami, always stopped by La Carreta for coffee. So it was a pleasure to invite two good friends celebrating their anniversary to eat some good cuban cooking. The maitre d' or...

70 Reviews Located at the ultra ritzy Shore Club Hotel, the SkyBar is the place to be on Friday or Saturday nights......located outside and surrounding the pool, the SkyBar has earned a reputation as a prime party spot for South Beach....the only problem is getting into the place....Bouncers only allow Hotel...
12 Reviews Whenever we go to Miamarina, we see this 200' x 40' mega yacht gambling ship. She goes outside the 3 mile limit so that gambling is legal. The website says it offers "the ultimate entertainment experience, from nickel slots to black-chip play" I've never been on this ship. "Over 10,000 square feet...
34 Reviews Being an HR Executive for a multinational in Europe makes it sometimes very important to have the proper transportation. A couple of weeks ago I had to visit Miami to recruit executive members for some of our departments in Europe. I told my secretary to book something cheap, reliable and classy....
11 Reviews Finally a cheap way to get to Miami Beach, without renting a car, taxi, or taking a shuttle .... Metrobus route 150 for only $2.35 each way you can take the bus to South Beach. Buses run literally all day long.
15 Reviews Gigantic, ultramodern, plush, elegant and expensive.... A great place to spend your money for just about anything ( not the right place for electronics though, that would be in the nearby BestBuy outlet ). Really worth the visit....... Well, in this case about 5 females of different age in...

17 Reviews For an entire week in January, Miami's Art deco festival celebrates it's design inspiration. Includes historic walks, jazz music, plenty of artwork and dining. Auctions, memorabilia and unique items are on display! The entire weekend which ends the festival culminates in dancing, international...
15 Reviews Miami has a very easy to understand road system. Once you get the hang of it, it should be easy to find your way around. Streets go east west. Avenues go north south. There are four sectors - northeast, northwest, southwest and southeast. The dividing line between north and south is Flagler...
12 Reviews - Don't go during Hurricane Season. Just don't risk it! The hurricanes are horrific in Miami!!! Don't let your vacation end badly. Just plan ahead and check out local weather. - There are lots of homeless people in Miami, due to the warm climate... so just watch out. Don't let them get tempted to...

6 Reviews but very crowded.....till we had to fight for a spot on the beach. The water look tranquil. Everyone is just interested in lying on the sand with the sunnies, topless, tanning and bay watching. Get a spot nearest to the waters....so that you can only see the sea and no one tanning in front of you....
6 Reviews bring your swim suits people , Miami's South Beach is hot . Tan in the daylight hours and by night - dance till you drop ! Like I said - the city that doesn't quit . lots of great pics to take so load up with film . Florida is the SUNSHINE state so remember to bring along that sunblock !
16 Reviews This cafe/bar is truly unconventional. Having lived in cities like Seattle and Chicago, where eccentric non-corporate cafes abound, I was dismayed to find nothing of the sort in Miami. Until I stumbled by chance into Luna Star Cafe in North Miami one day after I had visited the Museum of...
1 Review I had a hard time getting the name of Miamarina correct. It usually has plenty of space for transients (except during the boat show), and is the same price as Dinner Key. (as of 2003-2004 it is $1.85/ft/day or $25/ft/month). Plus Florida tax of course. In 2001 it was cheaper than Miami Beach, and...

67 Reviews South Beach is generally referred as "America's Riviera" because of its long and wide white sandy beaches, its historic art deco buildings, its multicultural atmosphere and restaurants. You don’t feel like you are visiting, there… you really feel like you’re on holiday. South Beach is just over...
19 Reviews Miami is called the "City of Change" and you can see why in its downtown area… it’s full of contrasts… little houses and shops and tall modernistic glass skyscrapers... the very same sight you have seen hundreds of times in Miami-based TV series. Downtown Miami is the central business district of...
