ToggleSouth Beach is the iconic neighborhood of Miami Beach, where you can live the Miami Beach lifestyle of your dreams. It has become synonymous with Miami's beach culture due to its sandy strands, swaying palms, and pastel-colored Art Deco buildings. SoBe, or South Beach, offers the best of Miami's beach culture. There are three distinct neighborhoods in South Beach, which is located along the Atlantic Ocean on a nine-mile-long barrier island.
The most famous is South Beach Pointe Park, which runs north to 23rd Street. Located on scenic routes connecting to the mainland, the Venetian Causeway and MacArthur Causeway provide a breathtaking view of waterfront palatial homes. Take to the waterfront path at sunrise or sunset and run or ride with locals for a true South Beach experience. It is a mile-long pedestrian thoroughfare lined with brand-name stores, independent boutiques, restaurants, street entertainment, and superb people-watching opportunities.
The pedestrian-only Espanola Way, reminiscent of quaint Spanish and French villages, offers similar diversions about a few blocks south. Those interested in art and design will find inspiration at the Wolfsonian-FIU's world-class collection. Just a few minutes' walk away is Ocean Drive, where hotels, restaurants and palm-fringed beaches line iconic Art Deco buildings. The Art Deco Welcome Center at Ocean Drive and 10th Street offers guided architectural walks. It's no secret that South Beach is the neighborhood's main attraction, so head to South Beach, spread a towel on the sand and take in the ocean breezes and sun all year long.
