South Beach is a fun place to take out-of-town guests, after all, what is a trip to Miami without going to South Beach? But if you're looking for a more family friendly or quiet spot to soak up the sun, go about 90 blocks north into Bal Harbour to Haulover Beach. In my time going to both South Beach and... more

I visited south beach for the very first time and I must say i was disappointed. First, we ate breakfast at a small cafe on Ocean drive which was OK. The price was outrageous. But, what i was most excited to see was the Beaches. Wow, what a disappointment. I am from Michigan and we have some of the most... more

We were in Miami 1 night after our flight left us, so we decided to go get some grub in South Beach. We took a bus from the airport to South Beach and we enjoyed every moment of it. It was totally lovely and everything was open despite being late. We were able to shop for a few things, and... more

I was SO glad to get home yesterday! I stayed right in South Beach and I was not impressed. If you are not into the party hook-up scene, South Beach may not be the place for you. The beach is great and restaurants are nice but you can go to any Florida tourist locale and get that. The prices are... more

There were alot of tourist and the beautful restaurtants on Ocean Drive were full of patrons, but somehow I still could sense that south beach is an area that is on the decline. Many... more

South Beach was loud and noisy. If you have children or teenagers, this is one place you would not want them to see. more

South Beach was an absolutely amazing experience. If you are planning a trip here take these things into consideration. 1.

If you stay in... more
