South Beach Beach Travel Tips

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel

  • Go topless! South Beach is one of few public US beaches that allows it.
  • Sip a frozen drink on sugar-white sand and schmooze with ultra-trendy locals.
  • Soak up the world-famous nightlife—more than 150 clubs along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue thump into the wee hours.
  • Stay a night in the historical Art Deco district. Less extravagant (read: cheap) accommodations are also available.
