During the day cafes are full and fashion shoots seem to be every where thanks to the back drops of pastel and vibrant-colored buildings. At night, South Beach comes alive. European and South American in taste, people eat late and then party. For years we made our way to the end of Miami Beach for stone crabs at Joe's. This is an institution, but the stone crabs, Manhattan clam chowder, and key lime pie keep the wait long.
People wait both inside and out for a table.
SoBe, the nickname for the area has dozens of small nightclubs where you can dance the night away. If you like golf, there is always the Doral as in the Doral Open, and the Fontainbleau, but there is at least one of every big hotel chain. I can even remember when there was a Playboy Club along the Avenue. The beaches in Miami Beach are worth a walk and are free. The sand is soft, white and beaches tend to be wide so get a good package deal and just enjoy.
