One of the most famous beaches on the planet, South Beach is cool, vibrant and full of Miami spice.

Beach Location

South Beach is a man-made beach at the tip of Miami Beach, Florida and encompasses the southernmost area of an island separating the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay.

Widely regarded as one of the most popular beaches in the world, South Beach is known as the spot where celebrities and beautiful people hang out.

Hot Temptations

South Beach is a vast expanse of soft, sparkling white sand that hugs the Atlantic Ocean for miles. Gentle waves and shallow waters make it an ideal place for swimmers.

Due to Miami's year-round sunshine, the beach is very popular even during the winter months, when many families flood the area to indulge in the wonderful warm weather.

You'll find plenty of joggers and walkers stretching their limbs along the beach as they pass by the pastel coloured lifeguard huts that line this trendy strip of sand.

The beach is a great place to people watch and is a microcosm of the world's nations, with numerous nationalities living in or visiting the area. The Latin American community is particularly prevalent and the diversity of the people is reflected in the food, music and neighbourhoods.

The beach offers a vivid vista of the whole of the South Beach scene, with the Art Deco buildings illuminated by neon lights

Adjacent to the beach is a paved area used by rollerbladers and cyclists. Volleyball nets are set up along the beach and a large segment of it is hard packed sand, making it ideal for ball games, playing Frisbee, and kite flying.

At night, if you're the partying type, just walk down Ocean Drive and take your pick of bars and clubs.
