MIAMI BEACH

Ever since the first high-style designer

hotels began to rise from the sands,

Miami Beach has captured the world’s

imagination. Today, South Beach has

turned into a multifaceted destination that

includes elegant residences and five-star

hotels, critically acclaimed restaurants,

irresistible shopping, extreme clubs, a

world-class art scene and a universe of

entertainment options.

Amazing AttractionsThe Art Deco District — listed on the

National Register of Historic Places — is

still going strong as one of Miami Beach’s

most popular attractions. You can explore

it on guided walking tours offered by the

Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL).

In addition to the 90-minute walking tours

that depart daily from the Art Deco Welcome

Center on Ocean Drive, the MDPL also offers

private guided tours, or visitors may go out on

their own with a self-guided audio tour.

Also in South Beach, a dramatic Spanish

Baroque building is home to the Wolfsonian

— Florida International University, whose

works are themed around American and

European decorative and fine arts produced

from the height of the Industrial Revolution to

the end of World War II.

Meanwhile, South Beach’s Jewish Museum

of Florida — FIU is housed in two beautifully

restored, side-by-side synagogues and

features the permanent exhibition MOSAIC:

Jewish Life in Florida, 1763 to Present. To the

north, the Holocaust Memorial is identified by

the visually stunning image of a giant sculpted

hand, reaching toward the skies. The site also

includes a black granite Memorial Wall paying

tribute to the lives lost during the Holocaust.

In addition to such noteworthy museums,

South Beach is distinguished by its many

art galleries, which can be found nearly

everywhere but tend to concentrate around

the Lincoln Road area, home of Britto

Central — headquarters of Brazilian pop artist

superstar Romero Britto. Puerto Rican artist

Carlos Betancourt maintains studio space here

as well and you might witness the ascent of

the next superstar at ArtCenter South Florida.

For something intriguing and provocative,

South Beach’s World Erotic Art Museum is

home to the largest collection of erotic art

in the country — more than 4,000 works of

international art in a private collection that

spans from 300 B.C. to the present.

If your inner artist is satisfied and the great outdoors beckon, feel free to answer at the sparkling seashore that lines Miami Beach for miles. Stop in at one of many parks, where activities like kite flying, tennis and bicycling will complement your day in the sun.

MIAMI BEACH

If your inner artist is satisfied and the great

outdoors beckon, feel free to answer at the

sparkling seashore that lines Miami Beach for

miles. Stop in at one of many parks, where

activities like kite flying, tennis and bicycling

will complement your day in the sun. Many of

the striking buildings in Miami Beach house

fascinating museums, including the Bass

Museum of Art in South Beach, set within

a beautiful coral rock Art Deco structure.

The museum boasts a stunning permanent

collection encompassing more than 500

years and four continents, from Renaissance

and Baroque masterpieces to painting and

sculpture from North America, Latin America

and the Caribbean. In December 2016 the

Bass concluded a long-awaited transformation,

adding three galleries and a new education

facility offering expanded programming.

Farther south, North Shore Open Space

Park stays true to its name with wide open

spaces and no hotel towers to share the view.

Amenities include a dog park, picnic tables,

nature and exercise trails and a bike path. Man’s

best friend is also welcome at six designated

Bark Parks and one Bark Beach within the City

of Miami Beach, including at South Pointe Park

on the beach’s southern tip, offering interactive

water features and a scenic observation deck.

At the southern tip of Miami Beach, South

Pointe Park offers beach access, beautiful green

spaces, and a pier for strolling by the waves.

Lummus Park provides the palm trees and

sand dunes that connect the sparkling blue

Atlantic with pastel-colored Ocean Drive.

Lummus is the image on nearly every postcard,

backed up by Art Deco hotels, fashion models

and fancy cars. South Pointe Park and the South

Pointe Pier make perfect spots from which to

view giant cruise ships as they glide out from

By the 1930s, the southern end of

Miami Beach was covered with the

tropical jewel boxes that would

come to be known as Art Deco

hotels. These architectural gems

— sporting the rounded corners

and geometric ornamentation of

the era — are part of what is now

the largest collection of Art Deco

buildings in the world.

PortMiami most evenings. Miami Beach

Botanical Garden is a peaceful urban oasis.

Shopping in StyleFashionistas looking for cool retail head

directly to South Beach. Lincoln Road is one

of the nation’s first pedestrian-only malls, a

brisk hub of window-shoppers, dog-walkers,

baby-toting parents and rollerbladers, all

streaming past national retailers, one-of-a-

kind boutiques and art galleries.

Year-round balmy weather allows shoppers

to enjoy a pit stop at one of many outdoor

cafes, where the people-watching is as good

as the food.

Blocks away, in the heart of the Art Deco

District, big-name boutiques are tucked

beside the restaurants and clubs along Collins

Avenue, South Beach’s designer district.

In Mid-Beach, the dining scene is no less

electric at places like Cecconi’s Miami Beach,

showcasing the flavors of Northern Italy;

and the new Talde, a casual Asian-American

restaurant and bar set in The Confidante

hotel. Also in Mid-Beach, Stripsteak at the

at the shops of Ocean Drive, while European-flavored Española

Way offers laid-back cafes and charming stores selling hand-made

jewelry and one-of-a-kind clothing, and a weekend arts and crafts

market. Nearby Washington Avenue is where you will find the

latest club wear as well as designer and vintage fashions. To learn

more about the exciting shopping options in South Beach, visit

ShopOnMiamiBeach.com.

To the north, 41st Street is a good place to stock up on essentials

at local pharmacies and convenience stores, while 71st Street, a

main thoroughfare leading back to the mainland, is lined with a

variety of shops and restaurants,

with beautiful Normandy Isle Park

steps away.

A World Of FlavorDining is an event in South

Beach, where outdoor cafes

combine people watching with

ocean breezes and creative

cuisine that includes everything

from light sushi rolls to full-on,

four-course French masterpieces.

The Eastern Mediterranean

meets a taste of the tropics at Byblos in the heart of South Beach,

whose authentic menu is served in a relaxing tropical/Eastern

atmosphere. The flavors of the Far East are showcased at Drunken

Dragon, a Korean barbecue restaurant offering the do-it-yourself

method of tableside grilling. Meanwhile, Mare Mio on Espanola

way showcases locally caught, pristine seafood, organic meats and

house made pastas.

On the northern end of South Beach, discover a new

definition of French Mediterranean cuisine via an exquisite

seasonal menu at Bagatelle Miami Beach, in the Villa Bagatelle

Hotel. A bit farther north, the Market at Edition promises to

begin and end the day, with gourmet food in a casual setting

offered morning, noon and night.

On South Beach’s southern end, the Brazilian steakhouse

Fogo de Chão satisfies with fire-roasted cuts of beef, chicken,

lamb and pork. Other neighborhood steakhouses — including

Meat Market, BLT Steak and Quality Meats Miami Beach —

offer their own take on the traditional steakhouse experience.

New York cut sirloin and a coffee-and-cocoa rubbed filet are

fabulous features at Smith and Wollensky on South Beach.

Australian lamb takes the spotlight, along with homestyle

roasted chicken and choices from the sea at The Dutch at The

W South Beach. There are tons of seafood restaurants, from the

classic Joe’s Stone Crab, a local legend since 1913, to the new

Izzy’s Fish & Oyster, a New England-meets-Miami oyster and

raw bar. Direct-from-the-ocean selections are always served all

over town, including A Fish Called Avalon, where the menu is

complemented by outdoor dining and South Beach people-

watching.

Automotive and real estate pioneer Carl Fisher jump-started

development on Miami Beach in the early 1900s, helping to build the first

bridge from mainland Miami and buying up land on the resort island.

Miami Beach was incorporated on March 26, 1915 and the rest is history.

The Food Network South Beach Wine &

Food Festival features more than 80 events

in a span of four days in February, including

appearances by celebrity chefs, culinary

personalities and Food Network stars.

Nightlife SceneDon’t expect dinner to end the day in

Miami Beach, because after a fabulous meal,

the night is still young at scores of clubs, bars

and lounges across the area.

The iconic image of Ocean Drive lit up in

neon splendor is still going strong, and the

energy is nonstop at places like Nikki Beach

Miami, a South Beach party playground; and

Mango’s Tropical Cafe, featuring conga and

samba shows and a Celia Cruz tribute show.

To cool off after a long day at the beach, head

to the recently opened Drinkhouse Fire &

Ice on Collins Avenue. Guests here can feel

the chill in its unique ice bar while enjoying

experimental cocktails.

Many incredible clubs are set within the

hotels, including the Shore Club South

Beach’s amazing Skybar and, farther north, the

thrilling LIV at the Fontainebleau. Rec Room

at the Gale South Beach offers a relaxed

atmosphere in hip surroundings.

If you’re looking for a cool, laid-

back vibe, try Jazid, one of the longest-

running nightclubs on Miami Beach, where a

multicultural mix of Latin and American jazz,

funk, cumbia, reggae and rock keeps the

dance floor filled. Bars like Kill Your Idol and

Purdy Lounge are favorites among locals

and offer late night shenanigans without the

velvet rope. Down on Washington Avenue,

Clandestino Pub has undergone recent

renovation and is now home to a mezcalaria,

with a bar program focused on the Mexican

agave spirit. The bar also hosts live music and

art exhibits.

Meanwhile, the curtain is rising on

concerts, comedy and theater at a number

of Miami Beach performance venues,

including the Fillmore Miami Beach at the

Jackie Gleason Theater. Heading to Lincoln

Road, the Colony Theatre is an Art Deco gem

dating back to 1935 and now offering a full

calendar of programming, including music,

dance, theater, opera, comedy, performance

art and film.

Nearby, another venue has taken its place

among the great cultural icons of Miami Beach

— the New World Center, a Frank Gehry-

designed building that is home base to the

New World Symphony (NWS). Symphonic

and chamber concerts are performed here

on a regular basis. Residents and visitors alike

gather on the lawn at Soundscape Park to

watch projections of c select events throughout

the season on the wall of the building.

During the first week of December, Miami’s

most prominent art and cultural institutions pull

out all the stops, and artists, collectors, curators,

international press and celebrities travel from

all corners of the globe to converge in the 305 for

a true artistic spectacle. In addition to the main

exhibits at the Miami Beach Convention Center,

gallery openings, hotel after-parties and even

spinoff events attract impressive crowds.

Art performances, inflatable sculptures and giant

installations come to life and virtually take over

streets, parks and public spaces, while both public

and private showings beckon artsy types from

Miami Beach to the Design District, from Coconut

Grove to Wynwood, and from Downtown Miami to

Coral Gables.
