Vacationing in Miami Beach Fl

16th October 2009

Miami Beach, located on the eastern coast of the southernmost tip of Florida, is a happening vacation destination for anyone who enjoys year-round sunshine, Art Deco design, exciting dance clubs, and beautiful beaches. Make your way down to “America’s Riviera” for your next vacation, and let the buzz of the city take over as you experience the beauty of the Miami Beach/South Beach area.

Before venturing to the beaches, one of the first sights visitors should check out is the Art Deco district located between the Atlantic Ocean and Lenox Court. Miami Beach has the largest collection of Art Deco architecture, which is displayed on numerous apartments, hotels, and other buildings that were built between 1923 and 1943, so be sure to take a stroll or a bike ride past these colorful buildings. This distinct style is represented by the use of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, inlaid wood, and lacquer and styles such as stepped forms, zigzags, and dramatic curves.

When most individuals think of Miami Beach, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the popular South Beach (SoBe) area of the city that was made famous by the show “Miami Vice.” South Beach is the prime entertainment area of Miami Beach with its hundreds of restaurants, nightclubs, and oceanfront hotels. The nightclubs are the biggest draw, however, as the more than 150 clubs that call this area home are notorious for being difficult to get into if visitors do not have local connections or do not plan accordingly.

If you want to experience a chic South Beach nightclub in the hopes of rubbing elbows with the rich and famous, it is difficult to know in advance which clubs are popular at any given time. As ownership, names, and décor constantly change, it can become quite a challenge to find the club you heard about a few months ago or to learn which club is currently the “hot spot” for celebrities. The best place to start is Ocean Drive and the enduring, never-failing clubs that are well-known to tourists, including The Deuce and The Clevelander, since you will be guaranteed an exciting night no matter when you go.

After an evening at the watering holes, you will probably want a pleasant, relaxing day away from the masses so you can unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of the city. For those who appreciate the beauty of a diverse collection of flora, the Miami Beach Botanical Garden houses a variety of plants including subtropical palms, bromeliads, and orchids on its four and half acres. In addition to the large selection of plants, visitors can also take in a cultural performance, sign up for a gardening class, follow along on a walking tour, or view the elaborate Japanese garden.

Saving the best attraction for last, the gorgeous beaches of the Miami Beach and South Beach areas are highly rated for their swimming conditions and clean, pristine sand. Two possibilities to consider are Lummus Beach and the North Shore Open Space Park, which has amenities such as picnic tables, showers, and restrooms and is one of the best places for snorkeling and scuba diving. If throwing down a towel, soaking up some sun, and occasionally wading into the water is not entertaining enough for you, both beaches also have hiking trails and volleyball courts to help fill up your day under the clear Florida sky.

Whether you want to spend your day at the beach or wander the historical streets of the Miami Beach area, you are going to need accommodations that allow easy access to all the attractions you want to visit. Miami Beach FL vacation rentals are ideally situated in numerous locations throughout the city so you can stay in the neighborhood that has the atmosphere and attributes you desire while also being close to everything you want to see. For your next trip to southern Florida, try a vacation rental that has all the amenities of home in an area that you simply cannot wait to explore and experience.

    it will be crazy fun, i have lived on south beach for the last 13 years and it has been quite the ride. You really should stay in the area in a cool hotel that really does matter. when my friends come down we stay at the Pelican on Ocean and they put us on all the clubs VIP list so that we can get in and not pay. Then you have to dress sexy, people down here like fashionable, skimpy outfits so bring some of those. oh and only bring your bikini bottom since the top is not needed. That is why you want to stay on ocean drive so you can be hooked up across the street with the beach chair service that is what we do. mon-thur. news cafe has a great happy hour, my fav. dont forget to go to Mansion and Privee
