Local knowledge

The best place to base yourself in Miami has got to be South Beach - stunning Art Deco architecture and best place to shop, eat, drink and enjoy the sunshine. The area has seen alot of regeneration over the last decade and most buildings have been restored to their 1930's splendour. Try Lincoln Road for shopping, Ocean Drive for people watching and if you're ready for those infamous huge portions pay a visit to The Big Pink a funky diner on Collins Avenue.
