The tropical atmosphere, striking light and excellent night life
Con

Can be very crowded; expensive; was a pain to find a hotel that wouldnt turn out to be a dump
In a nutshell

It's latin flare, food and nightlife!
20 Reviews Ocean Drive is the epicenter of cool. But it's also the epicenter of thuginess. This area really attracts all types, and many who come here don't fit the wealthy, pretty South Beach stereotype. Ocean drive runs right along the Atlantic Ocean. With sandy beaches on one side of the street and...
14 Reviews My wife and I took a leap and went on this spectacularly delicious and fun Culinary Tour!!! Its run by 2 cool chicks and they dip in and out of mom & pop / local eateries while enriching the guest's minds about the architecture, history and romance of South Beach (SOBE is what the locals call it -...
45 Reviews Miami Beach never be defeated by Waikiki. Believe me, shown in the picture is when it was in February. The red heat sunshine burns all the time. I got tanned in a few hours. The color of my skin didn't seem like one of a far east asian's that evening already. The blue is the sky and the green is the...
8 Reviews Home to the most famous of Miami's domino clubs, Maximo Gomez Park is a small park located on the corner of SW 15th Avenue and SW 8th Street in Little Havana. Its fascinating to go and watch these elderly residents playing dominoes at high speed. You can also take time to enjoy the heady scent of...
27 Reviews Here is a great idea for a morning after breakfast, take the Art Deco Walking Tour by the Miami Design Preservation League. It leaves most mornings from the Art Deco Welcome Center at 1001 Ocean Drive at 10th Street. Great, informative guides leave from an interesting tourist center and gift shop....
5 Reviews Vizcaya is not actually in Miami Beach, but is in Miami. Don't expect to come here and take a lot of photos because photography is forbidden inside the house. A bit of Venice, on Miami's Key Biscayne is maybe what James Deering the second son of William Deering of International Harvester tried to...
4 Reviews The Wolfsonian museum offers a diverse collection of objects related to late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries - nationalism, political persuasion, industrialization, architecture and urbanism, consumerism and advertising, transportation, and world's fairs.

The Bar at 1220 at The Tides: Swanky, chic & a wee bit pricey...
sunlovey Says: The Bar at 1220 offers a vast selection of (expensive, but gooood) cocktails and specialty drinks, including the famed Tropical Popsicle Martini which we saw people partaking of with delight... We had mojitos, you should have seen the size of the mint leaves inside, sooo...
Ewingjr98 Says: Miami International Airport is located a short eight miles northwest of downtown Miami. The airport is a hub for American Airlines, which is one of its worst features. Miami is the most popular airport for travelers between the U.S. and Latin America. In 2010, Miami had the...
Aventura Mall: Aventura Mall - everything under one roof
sue_stone Says: Located north of the Miami Beach area, Aventura is a large 3 level enclosed shopping mall. With over 250 stores, there is a good range of everything, along with plenty of free parking (or valet parking if you prefer). It is also on bus routes from Miami Beach and surrounding...
15 Reviews I was born and raised in Miami, so maybe I can be a little rough, seeing I'm a Miami Native I'm a little tough...that's so ridiculous, I work and live in Miami, I've lived here 37 yrs, have 2 kids and 1 on the way, I work in the tourist industry and have traveled termendously in that past 20 years,...
11 Reviews Do not go to the beach after dark! It is filled with drug dealers, crack heads and trouble makers. We found this out from the concierge when we decided to walk down to the beach at 5:30 am and film the sunrise on the camcorder. Luckily he caught us and warned us what lurked on the other side of the...
11 Reviews The traffic is the worse I have ever seen.The drivers even worse.They all seem to be on a suiside mission.I recomend taking a cab.It is a huge metropolis filled with the most violent neighborhoods in the united states.Getting lost will likely cost you your life.If you dont want a cab or a bus. There...
7 Reviews While it’s slightly cheaper to visit during the spring and summer months, the weather is the most humid and torrential thunderstorms are frequent. Towards, late summer, there is always a chance of coming face to face with a hurricane. When the winds of a tropical storm reach 74 mph, then the storm...
6 Reviews Take whatever you need for the duration of your stay. Remember, if you're down here for shopping, you might buy the clothes you wear out while you're here. Nice sandals and some shorts are a must, if you're on a budget, bring your dress clothes with you, if not buy them here. toothpaste, toothbrush,...
7 Reviews Really all you need to bring is a light travelbag or medium-sized backpack.,because the clothes you will pack to visit here will not take up alot of space. Tank tops,light summer dresses and bikinis do not take up that much room! This is all I would have taken , if it weren't for the fact I was...
agarcia Says: If you want to include some culture in your SoBe experience, the Wolfsonian Foundation will not disappoint you. Apart from the attractive permanent collection (mainly industrial design from the early 20th century), it usually holds interesting temporal exhibitions. During my...
Miami Ballpark - New Home of the Miami Marlins
Ewingjr98 Says: In 2012 the Florida Marlins will move into their new $515 million ballpark, which was constructed on the site of Orange Bowl stadium. When the park opens, the team will change its name from the Florida Marlins to the Miami Marlins... why would they claim to represent Florida...
Casa Casuarina - Gianni Versace
csordila Says: Miami Beach is unlike any other beach or city in the continental United States. At 11pm, an hour when many people are turning in for the night across the nation, this is the hour that restaurants, bars, and clubs are just getting started. South Beach is the most popular part...
