The Park Central Art Deco Hotel on Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami, Florida


Ocean Drive is Miami's most famous street, located in the southern part of Miami Beach known as SoBe to locals. This is where the fashion- and lifestyle scene of Miami are at home: one trendy boutique hotel follows the other, and the bars, cafes, lounges and restaurants are too numerous to name them all. There are trendy fashion boutiques, and it's not surprising that many model agencies have their headquarters right here on Ocean Drive. At times, Ocean Drive seems like a giant public catwalk for the promenading masses of beautiful people - a great place for people watching if you're so inclined. Besides being a great open air casting show, Ocean Drive features some of the finest restaurants and hotels in Miami, and of course the beach is right behind it as well. The white sand of South Beach stretches for miles, and it's the contrast of white sand and turquoise water that makes the ideal backdrop for the picturesque Art Deco buildings that have made Miami Beach famous around the world. South Beach is also one of the very few beaches in the where topless sunbathing is not only allowed, but also considered normal. For more sportive types, there are volleyball nets everywhere, and the promenade along Ocean Drive is ideal for jogging and inline skating. Ocean Drive is where everything that is generally considered "Miami" is gathered: beautiful people, Art Deco buildings, tropical cocktails and latino music blaring from most establishments
