Plan a full day of shopping, eating and drinking. There is a beach nearby but I like to be a tourist, drink, eat ice cream, buy some souvenirs and visit the Lincoln Road shops. It is a sunny and fun day. You can go to the beach in the morning, put on sun clothes in the afternoon, sunbathe and shop in the same day, but plan at least 5 hours! There is so much to do and see. Enjoy the local vibe, after all, this is South Beach!!
