Sizzling South Beach

Miami Beach's South Beach, has become known throughout the world as "America's Riviera." Awash in activity both day and night, South Beach's Art Deco District serves as the backdrop for one of the world's most eccentric and in-vogue neighborhoods.

South Beach accommodations can be historic and trendy or modern and majestic. Amenities can be simple or luxurious, so prices can run from reasonably inexpensive to absurdly extravagant. Most are just a short walk away from the action — the boutiques, bistros, and beaches of Ocean Drive.

Celebrities haunt must-be-seen-in bistros, cafés, and trendy restaurants and are as common as bikinis. This urban playground of the rich and famous provides a nightlife unlike anywhere else in Florida. If you are lucky enough to get in, Mansion has become the prime celeb destination. The PawnShop was recently named one of E! Entertainment Television’s Top 20 Clubs in the United States, so entry would be equally as difficult. If you dare, you might try BED an acronym for beverage, entertainment and dining. The club features edgy entertainment and replaces dining tables with king-size beds. Now that is one story that might not get passed along to your children and grandchildren.

When considering South Beach, remember that Miami has some of Florida's best beaches and plenty of sunshine that will allow you to come home from your honeymoon with a great tan!
