Unwind at South Beach's iconic sandy beach! For guests who choose to stay at The Betsy Hotel, enjoy two complimentary beach chairs along with beach service including umbrellas, lounge chairs, towels, and attendants ready to see to your requests.
We took our engagement photos here and loved watching the sunrise — it’s one of our favorite spots in Miami! Located at the southern tip of South Beach, South Pointe Park is a beautiful green space with sweeping views of the ocean, the Downtown Miami skyline, PortMiami’s cruise ships, and Fisher Island. You can relax on a shaded bench, stroll along the wide waterfront promenade, or head out to the South Pointe Pier for some of the best photo-worthy views in the city. It’s a peaceful place to unwind and take in the magic of Miami.
Guests staying at The Betsy can enjoy access to two stunning pools, each with its own unique vibe. The rooftop pool is a showstopper — an elevated infinity pool suspended in mid-air with 360° views of Miami and the Atlantic. It’s just cool enough to beat the heat and warm enough to linger with a cocktail in hand. Full bar and food service are available, making it a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. For a more peaceful escape, the Courtyard Pool offers a tropical, old-Miami feel with a mix of sun and shade. It’s especially ideal for guests traveling with little ones or anyone looking for a quieter retreat.
The Betsy Hotel hosts nightly live music in one of South Beach’s most intimate and welcoming spaces. From chamber concerts to jazz performances, world-class musicians play right in the cozy Lobby Bar — tucked between swaying palms and the hotel’s signature restaurant, LT Steak & Seafood. There’s no cover and no drink minimum, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a cocktail and good company.
A favorite of the bride and groom! Originally developed in the 1920s, Española Way is a charming, pedestrian-only street in the heart of South Beach.

You’ll find everything from Spanish tapas to fresh seafood, along with creative cocktails and a lively atmosphere. True to South Beach style, many spots stay open late — perfect for a relaxed evening out.
Located inside the Art Deco Welcome Center, this small but engaging museum offers a great look into Miami Beach’s iconic architectural history. You’ll learn about the city’s three main historic design styles — Mediterranean Revival, Art Deco, and Miami Modern (MiMo) — through interactive displays and rotating exhibits. Created by the Miami Design Preservation League, the museum is both educational and fun, with a resource center, kids' area, and plenty of vintage Miami flair.
A must-visit spot in South Beach, Lincoln Road is a vibrant, pedestrian-only street stretching eight blocks and packed with shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés.
