South Beach
The famed South Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach glitters with nightlife — even after the sun comes up. Though it’s known for attracting the rich, famous, and youthful, it has become recognized around the world as a vacation destination everyone can enjoy, from celebrities to families of all ages.
Lounge on the beach, see South Beach’s historic Art Deco architecture, and experience fine oceanside dining. Shop at the Lincoln Shopping District, an eight-block-long mall featuring Art Deco architecture with more than 200 shops and restaurants on either side of the street, or at historic Española Way.
By day, get outdoors and hop on a Citi Bike or head to beachfront Haulover Park for fishing, tennis, and golf. Families with children will love Flamingo Park’s water playground, swimming pools, and walking trails.
When the sun goes down, check out the legendary South Beach nightlife, from dance clubs to dive bars, and for a club experience during the day, go to Mango’s Tropical Cafe, which evokes 1930s Cuba with Latin food, music, and dancing.
