Renovated hotels along Ocean Drive and throughout the Art Deco District have captured national praise for the Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and Spanish Mediterranean Revival styles which dominate the 1 sq mile area. Just north of the Art Deco Historic District, multi-million dollar restorations have transformed many of the well-known hotels along Collins Avenue. The striking new architecture of the recently expanded Miami Beach Convention Center makes it an instant landmark. The updated and hip Lincoln Road Mall is a hub of the arts and entertainment: the street now houses the South Florida Arts Center, the Colony Theater and the headquarters of MTV Latino, the New World Symphony and Sony Latin America.
At the southernmost tip of Miami Beach, South Pointe Park offers an ideal vantage point to watch luxury cruise ships make their way out to sea. Boat watching is also a favorite pastime at the International Yacht Harbor, one of the largest marinas in South Florida. All year round, the warm sand, azure waters and pleasant breezes of Miami Beach beckon sunbathers, picnickers and outdoor diners.
