Rd & the Collins Ave. area or the one on 7th St., between Collins
and Washington Ave. for the Ocean Drive/Lummus Park area
Hotels on south Beach
Art Deco Hotels, fun to walk in
to see the renovated lobbies, bars, pools. A fun thing to do is to walk
on the boardwalk on the beach-side of the hotels between Lincoln Road(17th)
to 21st Street. and see if you'll like to have a drink so something
to eat in any ot these hotels. you can walk by the beach or on Collins
Avenue.
