The wide and fine, white sand-covered beaches are popular spots for fashion photo shoots, so you're sure to see models. The area is known for its hip clubs and wild nightlife as well as numerous excellent restaurants. « less

“Beach of miami”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012

Ha the beach......
There is enough place for everybody, depending if you want music on background or not....
Nikki beach is noisy, but closed to ocean drive, otherwise there is a walk all along the beach so you have the choice for your place, life guard always there till 5pm, beach closed by night, so take care....
You got showers all along and rest rooms available to.
No way miami beaches have their reputation and desserve it well

“Nice beach, breezy in November”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

It's a beautiful beach to walk along, but in November it's breezy and cool, so be prepared to keep warm in the late afternoon! You can also rent bikes and ride along a pathway at the top of the beach!
