Miami Beach is one of the world’s premier destinations to live, work, and play. This tropical paradise plays host to a number of world-famous festivals and celebrations such as Art Basel, an internationally-renowned display of art from across the globe, attracting close to 100,000 visitors. The South Beach Food & Wine Festival is another popular celebration of the finer things in life.

Quiet days in Miami Beach are also quite common, however. Locals are walking distances from miles of pristine beaches, sparkling shores, and warm Floridian waters.
Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping
Some of the best food in the world can be found on Miami Beach. This oceanfront paradise has easy access to the freshest seafood anywhere, with many of the world’s greatest chefs setting up shop along Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive. After dinner, live it up at one of the city’s vibrant clubs or bars in the neighborhood, then walk it off the following day and visit the several nearby glamorous and stylish boutiques.
Miami is famous for its sophisticated steakhouses and seafood, with Smith and Wollensky’s at South Pointe Park being one of the best-known. One of the nation’s finest restaurant groups established in 1977 is famous for its dry-aged steaks butchered on-site and served in formal power dining settings. In addition to the steaks, patrons love their lobster and crabcakes, scallops, and “angry shrimp” special.
Just a few blocks north, Prime 112 is a swanky, more modern steakhouse option locals have enjoyed immensely for nearly 20 years. Their classic menu with a twist features Chilean sea bass, jumbo lump crabcakes, lobster bisque, and more modern, Instagrammable favorites like Kobe beef sliders and truffled mac and cheese.
Lincoln Road is one of Miami Beach’s best streets for shopping, dining, and cocktails. One of the top spots is Juvia, a rooftop eatery, and bar, serving fine steak, seafood, and Asian cuisine. Feel free to stay awhile and enjoy the view; their cocktail menu is extensive and creative. Another unique stop on Lincoln Road is the Lincoln Eatery, Miami’s best food hall. Coffee, sushi, and more can be found in this 9,600-foot space located next door to Miami’s most luxurious shopping.
