Miami Beach is revitalized and lively. The beach strip along Ocean Boulevard is teeming with nightlife, outdoor restaurants, and cafes. Collins Avenue is full of boutique hotels and shops. Art-Deco buildings, colourful neon and pastel coloured paints have restored this area to its former glory. The choice of restaurants and nightlife is astounding, and young locals, in addition to tourists, flock here on the weekend. The beach itself is extraordinarily wide and hard-packed. It’s great for swimming, tanning and relaxation. A Latin pulse beats through Miami, not only from the large Cuban segment; Miami is home to a large population of immigrants from all over South and Central America. One might say that Spanish is the first language of Miami, something that makes it completely unique from nearby Fort Lauderdale. Many urban sites and places of interest dot Miami’s landscape, including the Bayfront complex near the cruise port, and Coconut Grove – with its upscale shops and boutiques.
Getting Around: Arrive at Miami International Airport and take a taxi or rent a car. Renting a car is the easiest and most cost-efficient way to explore. Taxis may be an option depending on your hotel location and where you plan to visit.
