Interior of Pura Vida Miami — Enjoy a fresh breakfast at Pura Vida near the beach.

Morning

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the beach, whether that’s at the healthy, fast-casual Pura Vida over acai bowls and bagel sandwiches in the posh South of Fifth neighborhood, a classic breakfast on the patio at News Cafe watching the world go by on Ocean Drive or more refined fare at the Pauline restaurant inside the newly revamped Art Deco classic, The Shelborne by Proper, on Collins Avenue.

Another classic way to start your morning in South Beach is with a good workout, whether that’s a run on the Beachwalk or a free morning yoga class on the sand at the 3rd Street lifeguard tower.

South Beach Jetty with ocean views — Experience the best of Miami Beach by spending your afternoon on the sand.

Afternoon

There’s perhaps nothing more pleasant to do in Miami Beach than spending an afternoon at the beach or poolside. You can rent chairs, umbrellas and towels from the Boucher Brothers. Most hotels provide these amenities for their guests, plus food and beverage service. It makes for an idyllic afternoon enjoying the sun and surf. If you’re interested in exploring attractions, sign up for an Art Deco Walking Tour or visit The Wolfsonian or The Bass museums for a dose of history and art.

Nightclub setting at LIV — Spend an unforgettable night at LIV.

Evening

South Beach comes alive at night with hot restaurants and even hotter nightlife. Start your evening with a cocktail at Bar Centro at the MICHELIN-recommended Andaz Miami Beach for creative, molecular concoctions by celebrity chef, José Andrés. For dinner, The Joyce on Española Way is one of the hottest reservations in town.

For a cultural attraction, head to the New World Center for a Wallcast concert in the park. And if it’s a late-night party you’re after, LIV is still the hottest club in town. Afterward, swing by the brand-new Mary Lou’s at the W South Beach for an energetic, upscale lounge experience.
