Clevelander Who hasn’ t heard about the Clevelander? Featured in most movies when it comes to South Florida nightlife, it’ s one of the most famous hotels on Miami Beach and has all you need for your night party: it’ s a hotel with a restaurant, sports bar, sun decks and nightlife every single day of the year. Its pools often hold skimpy bikini contests that spice up the mood in the afternoon, opening the way to the entertaining parties that continue well into the night.

Shopping Who could forget about the great American pastime-- shopping! Collins Avenue is the place for trendsetting shops, designers like Versace and extraordinary people watching. Be sure not to miss ultra chic Bal Harbour with its upscale designer-studded shops that are sure to stretch your pocketbook.

News Cafe The place to go for cappucinos at sunrise. Set on Ocean Drive, across from the beach, News Cafe provides the perfect setting for a meditative cup of cappucino in the morning or a late night bite to eat.

Miami Beach Golf Club Originally opened as Bayshore Golf Course in 1923, the elegant and highly regarded Miami Beach Golf Club is a beautifully restored landmark. This public course is enjoyed by visitors from around the world and widely considered as an upgrade from the high priced resorts in the area. Be prepared to be treated by lots of wildlife on the well manicured new strain of almost blue bermuda grass and keep an eye in the trees as the Iguana lizards are particularly plentiful and quite large here.

South Pointe Park Want to get away? At this park you can get close-up views of the cruise ships as they pass by, relax with the locals flying kites in the gentle Atlantic breeze or watch Miami Beach’ s best surfers riding the waves.
