From the pulsating nightlife, the energetic sidewalk crowds & fantastic sea food to the NYC rappers on quads to the refreshing and oversized cocktails to the beautiful people to watch on the beach to the best cigar (hand rolled on the strip) I've ever had in my life to the beautiful water and white sand to the convenient rentals of...

The beach was truly wonderful, and I'm only not giving it 5/5 because I've been to Thailand! But it was clean, there were life guards, the water was beautiful, and also seemed very clean. There were also toilets just off the beach scattered along the beach. Places to buy drinks and food were easy to come across too. I enjoyed... More

I love Bill Baggs (Cape Florida) at the end of Key Biscayne. The water is clear and beautiful. I also love Miami Beach from South Point up to about 60th St. The water is blue, clear and sand is white. It does get crowded though!. Wear your sunscreen!!!!

The beaches are wide, with a warm sea but it was full of algae, and it wasn´t agreeable to be in the water.

I love walking the beach at the water's edge. But not in Miami. There is so much seaweed !! Maybe it's the time of year, or maybe a storm was blowing in, but the water's edge is a land mine of seaweed. Compared to the gulf beaches, or the beaches of South Carolina or Grand Cayman, this is disgusting and... More

Nice beach, white sand beach which extends a long way into the ocean without getting deep.

fun, sun, sand and sea. But by far not as great as the Westcoast. No possibilities to park your car without paying an enormous fee. Many old, romantic Motels are gone. It's a pitty! Instead of small motels and business, big expensiv hotels are spoiling the beach with their crowds of people. The only positive event was the flight with... More

You can enjoy all types of activity on the Miami Beaches ... just do a little research and know your style ... some are Latin influenced with topless women, others more family oriented, while others draw the models and near-do-wells along the Art Deco section of Miami Beach proper towards the southern end. You can fish off the jetty at... More

Miami Beach is no longer the nice place to spend time with unless you are a young person looking for parties and clubs. The ambiance is now terrible. Better choices? Drive to Fort Lauderdale, north of Las Olas. Better crowd and ambiance.
