Overview

South Beach (SoBe) is everything Miami is known for – the sparkling beach, beautiful art-deco architecture, top-end boutiques and buzzing bars and restaurants. South Beach has its glamour, but there's more to this district than just velvet ropes and high-priced lodging (though there's a lot of this too). You'll find some great down-to-earth bars, good eating and excellent museums.
