I love walking the beach at the water's edge. But not in Miami. There is so much seaweed !! Maybe it's the time of year, or maybe a storm was blowing in, but the water's edge is a land mine of seaweed. Compared to the gulf beaches, or the beaches of South Carolina or Grand Cayman, this is disgusting and... More

fun, sun, sand and sea. But by far not as great as the Westcoast. No possibilities to park your car without paying an enormous fee. Many old, romantic Motels are gone. It's a pitty! Instead of small motels and business, big expensiv hotels are spoiling the beach with their crowds of people. The only positive event was the flight with... More

You can enjoy all types of activity on the Miami Beaches ... just do a little research and know your style ... some are Latin influenced with topless women, others more family oriented, while others draw the models and near-do-wells along the Art Deco section of Miami Beach proper towards the southern end.

Miami Beach is no longer the nice place to spend time with unless you are a young person looking for parties and clubs. The ambiance is now terrible. Better choices? Drive to Fort Lauderdale, north of Las Olas. Better crowd and ambiance. More

As we have performed over 300 weddings in South Florida- the beaches of Miami Beach gives you the right blend of sexiness and elegance. Miami Beach runs from 1st Street to 85th Street (South to North) and there are so many nooks and crannys that when picked at the right time is ripe for a intimate wedding on the beach. More
