Communities of Miami: SOUTH BEACH

White sand and aquamarine waters. Awesome architecture. Vibrant nightlife. These are the sights that will attract you to South Beach. But don’t let the natural beauty fool you. South Beach offers so much more. It's a wonderland that nourishes all of the senses -- and it will touch your heart, too.

Location

On the southern tip of Miami Beach, you’ll find South Beach, a subtropical paradise about two square miles in area. Across Biscayne Bay, you’ll see the trademark sites of South Beach: light-colored buildings all lined up against the Pompano sand with a backdrop of the sea.

Historical Architecture

The Art Deco Historic District of South Beach, tagged "SoBe," attracts visitors and residents alike. The square-mile stretch has more than 800 buildings designed in the Art Deco, Streamline Modern and Spanish Mediterranean Revival styles. With homes built in the early 20th century, this district is noted by the National Register of Historic Places and as one of Greater Miami's special sites. The Miami Design Preservation League offers a guided tour of the eye-catching area. Thanks to the league, this spot is also toured by bicyclists and in-line skaters twice a month.

Shopping

South Beach has its own designer district on Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive. Find shops and boutiques with names like Armani Exchange, Nicole Miller, Versace and Betsey Johnson as well as locally owned stores with limited-edition merchandise.

Attractions

For cultural buffs, there are plenty of must-visit places:
  • The Bass Museum, with a new Grand Gallery that has a display of artwork.
  • The Jackie Gleason Theater, a place to view Broadway shows.
  • The Miami Beach Convention Center, a place where major shows and events take place.
  • The Lincoln Theater, a place to hear the New World Symphony; the Colony Theater, a performing arts center; and the Alliance Cinema, specializing in a variety of films.

Dining & Nightlife

South Beach boasts a wide selection of restaurants, from casual food to gourmet fare, with cuisine ranging from Chinese, French and Italian. Famed Florida stone crabs are here, too. You can enjoy gourmet delights at sidewalk cafes day or night, paired with an outlook of the Atlantic Ocean. South Beach is also touted for its superb night action, which goes till 5 a.m. (to honor a Miami Beach ordinance). Some nightclubs offer service again at 8 a.m. for after-hours partiers. Popular venues include:
  • Level Nightclub, a stunning refurbished theater.
  • Salvation, a place with tribal house music teamed with DJs.
  • Crobar, a renovated theater teamed with live entertainers and dance music.
