TSUmom Posted November 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2012 We are new to cruising from Miami and will be flying in on Thursday Night. we will be staying at the Courtyard Miami Beach and would like to see the South Beach area. How far is it? Would we be able to walk or should we plan on a taxi? Also if anyone has stayed at the Courtyard Miami Beach is there anything in that area to see and do. The hotel seems to have a nice beach and a boardwalk but a boardwalk to where? Thank you in advance for any advice.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocadude85 Posted November 27, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2012 If your staying at the Courtyard Miami Beach/South Beach off Collins Ave then yes you can walk to South Beach. It won't be a short walk but it is doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiyogi Posted November 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2012 How far is it? Would we be able to walk or should we plan on a taxi? I think it might be a bit too far to walk for most people. Good news though, there are multiple bus routes within a block of that hotel that will take you down for $2p/p. If you stay out late you can always taxi back (our transit shuts down at midnight). There is also an automated bike rental kiosk located one block away (Deco Bike). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSUmom Posted November 27, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thank you for the quick replies - we are in good shape, we run 3 miles daily but we don't want to spend precious time walking to somewhere if there is not alot to see on the way. We want to take in as much as possible with the day we have there. Any suggestions on what to see? Any special places or sites in either Miami Beach or South Beach?

miamiyogi Posted November 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Head down to South Beach and check out Ocean Drive. Find the Art Deco Museum and take a walking tour. Also check out: Lincoln Road Mall Espaniola Way Ocean Drive. Holocost Museum Miami Beach Botanical Garden Wolfsonian Art Museum World of Erotic Art Museum Bass Museum South Pointe Park Nikki Beach Cheap(er) places to eat: 11th Street Diner News Cafe the Big Pink The boardwalk is about 4 miles long and goes behind a lot of the ocean front hotels. You wouldn't waste time by walking. Its interesting to walk it, and its a relaxing stroll next to the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
