South Beach

One of the last things that you should do is head to Miami and not go straight to South Beach. South Beach is the number one Miami hotspot with ample shopping and partying, it is also a magnet for Spring break. If you are looking for the hottest hangouts in Miami then this is a must see and although the rates are cheaper in May through August which is considered the "off season" March and April is when South Beach is really happening.

You can start off the evening with some dinner, make that one of the first thing that you do since Miami boasts a full line of ethnic cuisine, especially Cuban cuisine. Because the weather is so beautiful, most restaurants offer outdoor eating. Stick to Lincoln Avenue for a full array of a full line of various cuisine and plus it is a great spot to just sit and watch the people. This will help to really get you ready for one of Miami's famous forms of entertainment, partying! Head on over to Ocean Drive and get in on the action. Celebrities frequent this part of Miami on the regular. Nightclubs are plentiful with a broad selection to choose from such as The Clevelander, Club Deep, which has a dance floor built on top of water, and Nikki Beach Club which is a beachfront nightclub. These are all on Ocean Drive. The party spots are ample and Miami offers more than just nightclubs, check out the bars and coffee bars for a different kind of nightlife.

If you are looking for a hotel experience that is nothing less than awesome then check out The Pelican. It is within walking distance to every South Beach attraction. Although there are only thirty rooms in this hotel, each one is completely different from the other in terms of decor and style but each hosts a theme such as Tarzan or Flower Power. Another good smaller hotel that is right on the money is the Doubletree Surfcomber Hotel Miami which is located on Collins Avenue. This hotel is also within walking distance to just about everything. There are also huge grand hotels that line the beach which gives you typically what you would expect from one of these lush hotels.

There is a lot more to do in South Beach besides party plus you have to have something to do in the day time so you absolutely have to set some time aside for the gorgeous beaches that are full of white sand and crystal blue waters. That will allow you to relax and enjoy a bit of downtime before you hit the party trails later at night. Lie back on the beach, soak up the sun, read a book and sip on a frozen drink, maybe even take a little nap because the night ahead is sure to be a long one. As long as you are up for the party Miami can accommodate your needs in that area. If you decide that you want a change of scene or pace then visit one of the Miami Latin dance clubs or just chill out for the evening on the beach.
