If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax, a quaint little town with not much going on, South Beach… is not it!! This southern section of world famous Miami Beach is a mecca for shopping, dining, people watching, and excitement in general. Relaxation is certainly possible, by the hotel pool or at the beach during the day, but you will be compelled to maybe do some parasailing or jet skiing, take a sightseeing tour of Art Deco hotels or Star Island, shop and eat along Lincoln Rd. or Washington Ave., rollerblade, jog or walk along the beautiful beachside boardwalk, or people watch along Ocean Drive. If the club scene is your thing, make sure to plan ahead. There are more than 150 clubs and bars in South Beach, but many can be pricey and difficult to gain entrance to, if you don’t have some sort of connection. For shopping and dining, make your way over to Lincoln Rd., South Beach’s popular open air, pedestrian only, shopping area. With restaurant seating outside where the roadway once was, lunch or dinner here makes for an ideal spot to eat and people watch. Ocean Drive features many of the hotels, restaurants and street scenes used in marketing worldwide, can be seen in many television shows and movies, and is the site of the famous Versace mansion. With daytime temperatures averaging in the 70’s, South Beach is the perfect winter escape from your everyday life.
