About
Go to the beach, Ocean Drive and 5th St. to Collins Ave. and 21st St. A trip to South Beach would not be complete without going to its beautiful beach. You will be able to find food and drink concession stands; rent beach chairs and umbrellas; find restrooms and shower facilities; walking trails; volleyball; rent watersports; and feel protected with lifeguards and beach patrol. Topless bathing is allowed here, and a mostly-gay crowd sunbathes around 12th Street. The clear, calm waters of the Atlantic are warm all year round, with soft gold sand and palm trees swaying in the subtropical breezes. Many hotels adn buildings line the coast.
