Miami Beach Boardwalk
Florida · United States
Ocean Drive in Miami Beach is one of the most iconic streets in the city, known for its vibrant atmosphere, Art Deco architecture, and its role as a central point in the city's nightlife and culture. It's a great place to walk around and explore this stretch of Ocean Drive, which is home to the Art Deco Historic District, where you'll find pastel-colored buildings, neon lights, and stunning 1930s architecture. Take a walk down to admire the buildings, learn about the history of Art Deco and take lots of photos of the classic architecture. Snap a pic at Versace Mansion (The Villa Casa Casuarina) the luxurious mansion that was the former home of fashion icon Gianni Versace. Now it’s a boutique hotel and restaurant. Visit the actual hotel staircase that was used in filming of the 1983 classic movie "Scarface" and is considered a Hollywood Landmark. Ocean Drive is a must-see if you're in Miami Beach whether you're there for the history, the nightlife, or to simply enjoy the beach!
