"This urban beach in the Art Deco Historic District sees a lot of action and hosts events throughout the year like the South Beach Seafood Festival, concerts, and group exercise classes; solo exercisers may appreciate Muscle Beach on 9th Street, which has multiple fitness stations with bars, rings, and other equipment. Thanks to proximity to lively Ocean Drive, there's a plethora of nearby restaurants and bars as well as restroom facilities, and along this pristine stretch of sand you'll see beach-goers swimming, playing volleyball, and soaking up the good vibes." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
