Resort-style living is always in season on the Miami Beach Boardwalk
The Miami Beach Boardwalk neighborhood is a blended ecosystem of summering tourists, year-round residents and snowbirds. Lined with glamorous hotels like the Ritz-Carlton, the Boardwalk is packed with high-end restaurants and outdoor bars that stay busy well after dark. Cultural destinations like the Art Deco Museum, The Fillmore and The Bass are frequented by locals and visitors alike, as are well-known green spaces such as Collins Park. Lake Pancoast separates this coastal corridor from the city’s more suburban areas, giving everyday life a unique resort-like feel.
Over the years, the Boardwalk has accumulated a reputation as Spring Break’s party headquarters — a perception that the city hopes to change with new restrictions like earlier beach closures during specific weeks. “It does affect the locals, but most are actually happy about it,” says Carlo Dipasquale, Realtor with Compass and 26-year resident of South Beach. Additional security, increased parking prices for out-of-towners and more DUI checkpoints can sometimes be inconvenient for locals, but “I’d rather take the extra traffic just to have these precautionary measures,” he says.

Collins Park offers a blend of nature and art
The Miami Beach Boardwalk (or Beachwalk, as it’s often called) spans 9 miles from South Pointe Park to 87th Street and provides access to the entire east coast of the city. It connects multiple parks, resorts and restaurants with the sandy shores, creating a pedestrian and bike-friendly buffer. At the south end, the Boardwalk flows right into Lummus Park, which is home to the 9 Street Muscle Beach, a playground, sand volleyball courts and the Art Deco Museum. Lummus isn’t unique for combining art and green space, though; At Collins Park, visitors can explore The Bass, another historic Art Deco space with a dynamic sculpture garden — and Miami Beach residents can visit for free. The park also hosts weekly yoga sessions. Across 22nd Street, the Miami City Ballet and the Miami Beach Regional Library offer performances and events throughout the year.
Founded in 1923, the Miami Beach Golf Club is a huge draw for duffers of all skill levels, and Miami Beach residents benefit from discounted membership rates. The same goes for the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, a tropical escape tucked behind the city’s convention center, a frequent host of Art Basel events. Nearby Soundscape Park is known for hosting its annual Cinema Series as well as orchestral performances organized by the New World Center.

Catch the action at the annual Hyundai Air & Sea Show
From the annual Art Week to monthly Culture Crawl events, the city organizes vibrant gatherings where tourists and residents can come together to celebrate. Pride events are a huge deal here, as are concerts at the Miami Beach Bandshell in North Beach. “They have so many events on the beach that sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with them,” Dipasquale says. Fashion shows, food and wine festivals and networking events draw elegant crowds, and tickets aren’t cheap. There are still plenty of free events, though, including the annual Hyundai Air & Sea Show on Memorial Day weekend.
Explore the Lincoln Road Mall on foot
Collins Avenue is home to a host of shops and restaurants, including Wilde on the Porch, a locally loved brunch spot. Across Washington Avenue, Lincoln Road is a pedestrian promenade lined with sidewalk cafes, galleries and major brands such as H&M — which is housed in the iconic Art Deco Lincoln Theater, a relic from the 1930s. “Locals meet people on Lincoln Road for a drink or a sandwich; that’s typical Miami life,” Dipasquale says. When it comes to everyday groceries, residents have a handful of small markets to choose from on Washington Avenue, including the Fernandez Fruit Market and the Washington Food Plaza. On the west side of the city, shoppers will find big names like Trader Joe’s, Publix and Whole Foods Market.
The hotels and resorts along the Boardwalk often include a signature restaurant or bar, but they don't just cater to upscale clientele. “You would think hotels would be for tourists, but they’re actually a big attraction for locals,” Dipasquale says. Fresh seafood and Mediterranean cuisine are popular at the contemporary Nautilus Cabana Club at Nautilus Sonesta, while local ingredients and chic mood lighting draw diners to Orange Blossom at Boulan South Beach. Bars like High Tide craft creative cocktails just steps from the boardwalk.

Luxury condos offer ocean views
Most housing options along the Boardwalk are luxury condo units, which can range vastly in price depending on the building’s age and amenities. Some, like The Setai Hotel Residences, have a distinct resort feel, coming fully furnished with a touch of designer glam. These luxury condos often boast fitness centers, pools, on-site spas and private beach access. Many of the high-rises were built between 1960 and 1980, although they all feature updated hurricane preparedness features like shatter-proof glass. Studios measuring less than 1,000 square feet can sell anywhere from $300,000 to $1 million, while most two-bedroom options start at $500,000 and top out at about $2 million. Rare three-bedroom units aren’t likely to list for under a million, and some penthouse suites can reach as high as $15 million.
For many residents, these condos are a second or even third property, so it's common for some units to remain empty for months at a time. There are only a few areas where the zoning allows residents to list their units on Airbnb, “but the fact that zoning allows it doesn’t mean you can do it. The building has to allow it as well,” Dipasquale says.
The Setai Hotel is an iconic building in Miami Beach Boardwalk, offering residences as well.

Hop on the Collins Express Trolley
In addition to being walkable and bike-friendly, Miami Beach is commuter-conscious, with multiple options for navigating the area. A handful of Citi Bike stations dot the streets, and the Collins Express Trolley offers free rides along Collins Avenue. There’s also ample Metrobus service a block over on Washington Avenue. As part of the Better Bus Network initiative, the city is currently working to improve these bus routes, so frequent riders should expect a few detours from their normal course.

The reality of a coastal lifestyle
Rising sea levels are making headlines across the country, and for Miami Beach residents, the threat is all too real; According to FEMA, more than 90% of the city sits within a Special Flood Hazard Area. Hurricanes and tropical storms are always a possibility in Florida, but the beach is far more susceptible to minor flooding from extreme and unusually high tides, a phenomenon also known as king tides. Most high-rise condos offer some protection from ground-level seepage, and the water usually drains quickly, but owners may want to arm themselves with flood insurance in the case of severe weather.
Adapting routines during sea turtle season is another important facet of the coastal lifestyle, as many of the species that nest here are endangered. “You see little areas marked with yellow tape, and that’s where the eggs are,” Dipasquale says. In Miami Beach, sea turtle season starts at the beginning of April and lasts through October, during which time beachside businesses and residents are urged to reduce outdoor lighting or use amber, orange or red lights after dark, as white light can disorient young turtles. Some locals even volunteer their time to ensure the baby turtles head in the right direction and don’t end up stranded in the city. “It’s a beautiful thing to do. It’s a great experience to be part of nature,” Dipasquale says.
