 chair maid by stonefree
But not free!!! Sometimes in the day, a girl with a checking list in her hand will shows up to you with a lovely similing face. She is a chair maid and you have to pay some.
Lie directly on the burnt sandy beach. Leave a Comment

 Versace mansion by vanessadb
Realistically though, if Versace had not been shot here, do you really think this house would be so interesting to photograph? After all, it is not all that, especially with all the very cool art deco buildings that surround it....
Located on Ocean Drive and 12th Street. Leave a Comment

 Bayside flags by vanessadb
So, if you are looking for a touristy place in Miami by all means visit Bayside. Sip a Margarita on its main square, listening to live music, and shop around where you will find all the franchise stores you find everywhere.
Surprisingly enough, they have a great Lebanese and Greek food stand in the food court on the second floor. "The Middle Eastern Connection" actually serves the best tabouleh and lamb Sish Kebab in Miami at very interesting prices. Unless of course you prefer fast food which is all that you can find around it..... Leave a Comment

 The ouside bar at Tu Tu Tangos by vanessadb
There is one restaurant worthwhile however, such as Tu Tu Tango, which serves international "tapas" like meal in an artsy atmosphere and has a nice bar on the outside terrace.
Also my suggestion would be to walk around Cocowalk, taking Main Highway and its side streets. Do NOT take Grand Avenue however: that will lead you to an unsafe and dangerous neighborhood! And now I need to watch my language as I have been accused of racism in the past trying to say this. It is a crack-addict neighborhood, and it so happens to be an African-American community, just as it could be any other, so please don't take this description personally: I have absolutely nothing against African-Americans, I am simply describing the neighborhood....
In Coconut grove, these would be the places I suggest:
To eat, either Anokha, located at 3195 Commodore Plaza which serves Fine Indian Cuisine at very reasonable prices; or Greenstreet Cafe on 3468 Main Hwy
which serves international cuisine.
To hang-out, drink, and play pool go to Barracuda's, a nice local's hang-out bar on 3035 Fuller St, or try to international tapas at Tu Tu Tangos (2nd floor Cocowalk.) Leave a Comment

 Ocean Drive by vanessadb
Do walk up and down Ocean Drive by all means. That is actually a must in South Beach. But unless you REALLY fall in love with an item in a shop and don't care whether you pay more than it is worth, don't shop there.
Eating is not such a problem as there are a few good restaurants. And eating outside on Ocean Drive will provide you with a wonderful hour of people watching! My recomendations: Cafe Milano (Italian), and Pelican Cafe (for sandwiches and salads) Leave a Comment

 Free passes galore by HotSpotJLeave a Comment

Although with some exceptions, Ocean Drive restauants are generally tourist traps and offer lower quality service/food than establishements found elsewhere in sobe. Locals tend to frequent restaurants on Washington Avenue and Linclon Rd. Mall, offering unique menus and wider variety of cuisines. Leave a Comment

Hotels by goingsolo
Rollerblade on the beach and have a drink at Wet Willies
For nightlife or restaurants, see my tips for suggestions other than the Ocean Drive hangouts. Also, I'd make an exception for Breeze on 15th and Ocean and for Billboard (same location) if you're under 21 and like loud clubs. Leave a Comment
