Art Deco Walks
Beach Walk off Collins Avenue - Art Deco Walk
A great walk is to start at Lincoln Road and Collins Ave:
Check out the lobby of the Ritz Plaza or the Loews Miami Beach Hotel ( fantastic illumination at night), then walk East towards the beach. There is a nice boardwalk behind the restored Art Deco hotels and the beach.
Peek into the pools of the famous Art Deco hotels : The Raleigh ( the most famous one), Shelborne Hotel, Surfcomber Hotel, etc. then walk back on Collins Avenue. You can go into any hotel lobby for a drink, a snack or just walk around & look. Or explore any hotel on your own!
Another outing is to walk the length of Ocean Drive ( from 15th to 5th), this is "the" art deco drive: Hotels facing Lummus Park, with palms, coconut trees and a very wide sand-beach area, as well as benches and a swirling walk path.
It is magical at sundown or nighttime. There are lots of outdoor places - all hotels have sidewalk cafes and tables - to drink, eat and people watch. This walk is a must in Miami Beach! Enjoy. Other Ideas
