I only had to walk across the street to be on the beach. Going to Miami Beach, wear comfortable shoes and cool casual clothes. People are friendly and very multicultural. Conversation with locals and visitors are enlightening and refreshing. Speaking Spanish comes in very handy.
“Happy Hour” on hotels on Ocean Drive include sometimes drinks, sometimes menu items at half price. Cuisine is delightful and the view of people, vehicles, ocean is intriguing.

I enjoyed the food and drinks of various establishments on Ocean Drive across from the Beach. They were all terrific! –Sidewalk outside seating arrangements were romantic and allowed me to enjoy the atmosphere of the area. I stayed in the Art Deco area of Miami Beach. The architecture was amazing and breathtaking. Strolling along the beach was relaxing and fun with the variety of people in their activities. Ocean Drive is lined with hotels and restaurants, where I could dine and leisurely watch people saunter through and a variety of vehicles drive through the area like a parade. The multicultural flavor of the Art Deco neighborhood was refreshing and alive with excitement. I walked down the beach and boardwalk stopping now and tehn to refresh my self at various eateries. There were quite a number of sport activities on the beach.
Shopping was fantastic. Dress code was anything that was comfortable and suitable for the sunny weather. Walking around Miami Beach was easy and shops and malls were very accessible.
Security was nonstop and as a single woman, I felt safe to walk during day or night.Cuisine was seafood and cosmopolitan-Absolutely delicious. Restaurants on Ocean Drive, some with Happy Hour Menu specials on very exceptional cuisine at an affordable price. Dining on Ocean Drive watching the parade of vehicles and the beach activities. Ocean Drive Restaurants and HotelsCollins Avenue (1 street over from Ocean Drive) also had many prestigious hotels and resorts. Miami Beach as I walk down the shoreline.
This was my first trip to the Art Deco District of Miami, my most memorable part experiencing the architecture of the area. Day time was like a trip back in time and at night was a fantasy land with the light play on the buildings.I could sit at a sidewalk restaurant and watch people and old classic cars cruise Ocean Drive.
