Traveler Tips
South Beach After Your Cruise
Pre-cruise vs post-cruise South Beach. Many cruise passengers extend their Miami vacation either before boarding (arrive a day early to avoid missing the ship) or after disembarkation (explore Miami with your vacation time). South Beach offers both—beachfront resorts for relaxation or nightlife and dining for entertainment.
Luggage storage options. If checking out of your cruise but not flying until evening, most South Beach hotels offer luggage storage for former guests or for a small fee. This allows beach time before your flight without dragging suitcases around.
South Beach highlights within walking distance. Ocean Drive (Art Deco architecture and people-watching), Lummus Park Beach (wide sandy beach with lifeguards), Lincoln Road Mall (pedestrian shopping and dining), and Española Way (historic Mediterranean Revival district). Everything is walkable in South Beach—no car needed once you arrive.
