3 Days in South Beach
March 18th, 2006 by NancyI was in South Beach a month or so ago and was fairly impressed.
First of all, I had no idea South Beach had such an Art Deco thing going on. Walking past some of the hotels, I felt like I was stuck in a time warp…in a good way. (This site has a lot of great photos illustrating what I mean.) Even the place we stayed — more of a little apartment building than a grand hotel — had Art Deco details.
Lincoln Road was one of my favorite spots. It’s an open-air pedestrian mall that offered some great shopping and people-watching. (Here are some cool night shots.) It also had a ton of restaurants: It took us about an hour of menu-browsing to finally pick one.
All of the beaches we hit were scenic and clean, and it was hard to turn a corner and not see some sort of photo shoot going on. I was only in South Beach for two nights, but I’d definitely go again, if given the chance.
