Route Details & What to Expect
Your Journey
The route from MIA to Miami Beach crosses one of several causeways connecting Miami to the barrier island. The most common route takes SR-112 East to I-195 East (Julia Tuttle Causeway), offering spectacular bay views as you cross to Miami Beach. Alternatively, drivers may use the MacArthur Causeway (I-395) further south, or the Venetian Causeway through the Venetian Islands for destinations in Mid-Beach. Your driver selects the optimal route based on your destination and current traffic.
Miami Beach is larger than many visitors realize, stretching from South Pointe at 1st Street all the way to 87th Terrace at the northern tip—about 7 miles of beachfront. South Beach (1st-23rd Streets) is the famous Art Deco district. Mid-Beach (24th-63rd Streets) features luxury hotels and quieter beaches. North Beach (64th Street to 87th Terrace) is residential and family-friendly. Specifying your exact hotel or address ensures accurate routing and pricing.
Traffic to Miami Beach varies by day and season. Weekdays see moderate traffic, with evening rush hour affecting causeway crossings. Weekends bring heavy beach traffic, especially Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Winter season (November-March) attracts peak visitors, while summer sees more locals. Major events like Art Basel, Winter Music Conference, and Miami Beach Pride create exceptional traffic. Our drivers navigate these patterns expertly.
For pickups at MIA, your driver meets you at your terminal's designated pickup area with a name sign. For drop-offs in Miami Beach, communicate your specific hotel or address. Many Collins Avenue hotels have designated taxi drop-off zones. Parking in Miami Beach is notoriously limited and expensive ($3-5/hour metered, $40-60/day at hotels), making taxi service the smart, stress-free choice.
