About
Lincoln Road, or more accurately, Lincoln Road Mall, is an 8-block long pedestrian walkway between Washington Avenue and Alton Road, filled with shops, restaurants, cafes all in the art deco and mediterranean styles found throughout South Beach, and fabulous botantical plantings and water gardens. It, along with Ocean Drive, is one of the 2 main destinations for visitors to Miami Beach/South Beach. The east-west street was laid out in the 1920s by the legendary Carl Fisher, one of the early developers of Miami Beach, and was known in the 1920s and 1930s as the "Fifth Avenue of the South" and was, in fact, the most fashionable shopping street in America outside of New York City, with department stores such as Bergdorf-Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and even furrier shops!
