South Beach, or SoBe for short, is a truly unique neighborhood which concentrates a lot of paradox: the festive Ocean Drive, the colorful sea lifeguard cabins, but also, of course, all the Art Deco architecture which focuses on the South Beach district (but not only). Indeed, the seafront, but also the residential areas, have real architectural gems in the Art Deco style. The bicycle is indeed the new preferred mode of transport in SoBe… The authorities of Miami Beach are considering permanently pedestrianizing Ocean Drive, the legendary seaside of South Beach, in order to make room for pedestrians and bicycles. This requalification of this public space will coincide with an unprecedented urban redevelopment. The bike is therefore the ideal tool for visiting SoBe! Many cycle paths have been created in recent years and more are planned, so let's take advantage of them!
