Suggested Route
A practical first visit
Use one day for South Beach and Art Deco, one for Little Havana and Wynwood, and a third for Vizcaya or Biscayne Bay.
Plan Ahead
The planning note that matters
Winter and spring are most comfortable; summer and fall require heat, thunderstorm and hurricane awareness.
Photography
How to photograph it
Shoot South Beach at sunrise and Ocean Drive neon at blue hour; high humidity can fog lenses.
