About Ocean Drive

Ocean Drive is one of Miami Beach’s most recognizable streets, running alongside the oceanfront in the heart of South Beach. Famous for its colourful Art Deco buildings, swaying palm trees, sidewalk restaurants, and lively atmosphere, the street captures much of the style and energy that has made Miami Beach famous around the world.

 

What to Know

Ocean Drive runs through the Miami Beach Architectural District, where visitors can see an impressive collection of preserved Art Deco hotels and buildings dating largely from the 1930s and 1940s. Many feature the pastel colours, geometric details, neon signs, and streamlined designs associated with Miami Beach’s distinctive architectural style.

 

The street sits directly across from Lummus Park and the sands of South Beach, making it easy to combine sightseeing with time by the ocean. Restaurants, cafés, hotels, and nightlife venues line the route, while the wide sidewalks make Ocean Drive a popular place for walking and people-watching.
