Art Deco Ocean Drive, Block by Block: 3 Miami-Area Stops
Study preserved 1920s and 1930s resort architecture on a flat, park-adjacent oceanfront promenade. Washington Avenue offers Colombian-inspired dishes, while The Betsy Hotel adds live music, art exhibitions, and literary programming.


Ocean Drive and its surrounding streets preserve South Beach resort architecture from the 1920s and 1930s. Look for Mediterranean Revival arched loggias and period structural details during the day. A flat promenade beside the park links the historic facades to the oceanfront. After dark, the district's glowing neon lights and energetic nightlife bring a different rhythm to the same streets.
