Often compared to the Riviera or Saint Tropez the south end of Miami Beach, known in shorthand as SoBe, is really a place all its own.

No other destination quite compares to this fashionable beach scene where a square-mile historic Art Deco district and a wild and crazy nightlife scene add exotic and cosmopolitan flair.

Ocean Drive is the beachfront thoroughfare, and it’s really best to walk it because traffic inches most of the day and night. You can stroll the paved beach walk or the sidewalk fronting South Beach’s famous Art Deco hotels and their sidewalk cafés.

Be ready to dodge in-line skaters, servers hawking café menus, and crowds of the curious.

Stop at any of the cafés for a drink or a meal.

Well-loved by locals is News Cafè (800 Ocean Drive), where you can find almost any newspaper, in case you tire of people-watching.

Comments and Advices from our Guests:

1) The best place to be in miami..dont miss it! sunday night is the best.

2) It used to be great place in 2001. Now it is worst tourist trap on the beach.

3) Far over estimated. left it´s best years and glamour behind. no place for locals. but still the only place at the beach to hang out & chill – except the beach itself!

4) Sadly – though not always the case – this particular location gives the ‘nikki beach’ brand a bad name.

5) Don´t waist your time, trashi place…. In place in 2000 now want´s to live from past glories, with the turist croud…

6) Great place, go on Sunday`s.

7) Make sure you get there before 12, take a chair with umbrella, a large mojito’s jar, and then you will be ready to enjoy the show…

8) Best Sunday Brunch of Miami Beach!

Located in the heart of South Beach, just north of Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road – one of the most romantic street – runs from the ocean to the bay between 6th and 17th Streets in Miami Beach’s historic Art Deco District.

Built in 1914 as the center – piece for Miami Beach, it was considered one of the most elegant shopping streets in America by the 1950s.

In the early ‘60s, legendary architect Morris Lapidus created a new design for the Road and closed it to traffic.

Though the 70s and 80s saw a decline in Lincoln Road, by the ’90s it once again became a bustling, vibrant area and now attracts an international mix of tourists and residents.
