3. Ocean Drive

Nothing says Miami quite like the neon signs of Ocean Drive shining into a muggy evening as the sounds of music and laughter drift into the street. Built almost entirely during a huge construction boom in the 1920s, the street is both an aesthetic wonder, with its coordinating pastel-colored art deco façades, and one of Miami Beach’s hottest spots for nightlife. Move from bar to hotel to restaurant in search of a new drink fruitier and more tropical than the last. Return in the daytime to admire Miami in its full glory.

4. Las Olas Boulevard

Meaning “The Waves” in Spanish, Las Olas is an apt name for this 4-kilometre boulevard that runs up from the beach. Out of this, a 1.6-kilometre stretch bustles with small independent shops, restaurants, bars, and spas. Colourful umbrellas dot the boulevard, protecting al fresco diners from the sun’s strong rays, while the tree-lined boulevard provide shoppers with shade.

5. Siesta Key Beach

Siesta Beach has earned a reputation of being among the most beautiful in the United States. The beach is known for its crystal-clear water and powdery white sand, made almost entirely of pure white quartz. The soft, clean sands are reflective so it’s never too hot underfoot, despite the warm Florida sun. Siesta Key’s public beach is equipped with all the amenities necessary for a full day of relaxing on the soft sands and splashing around in the clear, shallow water.
