Collins Avenue is one block off the beach between South Pointe Drive and 15th Street, but thereafter it becomes the street where all the top oceanfront hotels are located. It contains many of the fine restaurants, shopping areas and nightlife venues that South Beach is famous—and notorious—for.
Traffic is horrendous during peak periods, but the good news is that most places of interest are within easy walking distance of your hotel. The exceptions are the Fontainebleau Miami Beach and Eden Roc hotels which are only a short cab ride, or scenic jog on the boardwalk away.
