In contrast, the objects and paintings in the World Erotic Art Museum are curated in an amateur fashion, and while it's interesting to see the way different countries have created erotic art, the overall experience is not inspiring. Some guidebooks tell you to find the old post office on Washington Ave and take a look, but skip on that- it's ugly! Do pop into the Wolfsonian Museum after lunch (at Washington Ave and 10th Street), a beautifully-curated museum with objects from the years 1885-1945, including interesting propaganda posters. This will stave off any colds/flu on your trip! Le Chic French Bakery at 1043 Washington Ave has decent baguette sandwiches and pain au chocolat.įor a healthy option, get a wonderful juicer juice and enjoy the very groovy ambience at Joe and the Juice, at 1600 Collins Ave. Choose the baked Argentinian empanadas rather than the greasy deep-fried Venezuelan ones. Charlotte's Bakery at 1499 Washington Ave has fresh empanadas stuffed full of delicious ingredients- heaven! We ate their both days of our recent visit. It's super fun to bike ride south on the boardwalk all the way to South Pointe Pier and Park.įood on Ocean Drive isn't good, so check out the cafes a few blocks back from the beach, on Washington Ave (which unfortunately has many homeless people and a smell of pee). The beach, 7th Street Beach, that runs along here is gorgeous with a wide swath of fine, white-grey sand, perfectly clear, warm water, and large colorful lifeguard stands. A really cool feature of Miami Beach is that you can rent bikes at stations throughout the town- you just pay the machine with your credit card ($4.50 for a half hour, $6.50 for an hour) and take the bike- you can drop it off at any of the other stations. Visit after sunset too so that you can see the Art Deco buildings lit up in neon! Pure joy! You can't go wrong with a few hours spent on Ocean Drive! We came here on Christmas Day and saw all manner of people- it was crowded- including "Santas" in red bikinis, both female and gay male! Plus there were selfie stations in huge Christmas balls or beside giant presents. The Art Deco buildings add a splash of color to the scene, as do the many fine sportscars that cruise by. Restaurants blast Latin and hip hop music. Volleyball courts are set up in the huge sandy area alongside the boardwalk. Here, on the ocean side of the road people rollerblade and bike ride on the wide boardwalk surrounded by hundreds of coconut trees. If you're looking for some excitement, head over to Ocean Drive! Walk along the ocean side of the road as the other side has aggressive restaurant hosts trying to get you to buy a meal.
