Collins Avenue is a buzzing destination for shopping, dining and entertainment in Miami. The neighbourhood has been a mecca for fashionistas since the late-1980s when it was developed as a hub for designer boutiques, upscale hotels and swanky nightclubs.
Today Collins Avenue is lined with ionic retailers, such as Sephora, Vans and Victoria’s Secret. You'll also find a dazzling collection of designer storefronts like Armani, Tommy Hilfiger and Club Monaco. There are plenty of opportunities to spot celebrities from a sidewalk cafe or enjoy craft cocktails in swanky hotel bars.
After exploring Collins Avenue, head a few blocks east to Ocean Drive, which is lined with gorgeous Art Deco architecture and retro hotels. You can sunbathe on the sugar-white sand of South Beach, stroll along the oceanfront promenade or relax under the palm trees in Lummus Park.
Getting there
Collins Avenue runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean in South Beach. The thoroughfare is a five-minute drive or 15-minute walk from Downtown Miami Beach. Parking is available at private garages along Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive.
