Art Deco glamour meets ocean energy

South Beach

South Beach — the SoBe — is Miami's most iconic district. The Art Deco Historic District on Ocean Drive is a UNESCO World Heritage candidate: 800+ preserved buildings in pastel coral, seafoam, and cream. The beach itself is consistently rated among the world's finest, with powdery white sand and impossibly turquoise Atlantic.

Insider Note

The real South Beach is west of Washington Avenue — away from Ocean Drive. Espanola Way, the Lincoln Road Farmers Market on Sunday mornings, and the Wolfsonian-FIU museum are where locals and design-minded visitors actually spend time.
