Let's face it - some of us love to shop and some - don't. But even if you are a “born shopaholic”, the fact that many airline companies limit luggage and charge for it, re-defined for many of us the whole notion of shopping experience.
As much as you love to shop, you may decide - you can always buy the same stuff at home. Or online.
That being said, where to shop in South Beach Miami?
South Beach Miami Shopping Malls
Lincoln Road Mall.This pedestrian mall, originally designed in 1957 by legendary Morris Lapidus is the most popular place to shop in South Beach Miami.

South Beach. You can find many designer boutiques and one-of-a-kind stores on or around Washington Avenue, Collins Drive, and Ocean Drive.
Aventura Shopping Mall. If you don't mind to spend at least 45 minutes on a bus or just need to have a day off from the beach and the sun, visit Aventura Shopping Mall - the home of 250 retail stores (Best Buy, JC Penny, Bloomingdales, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Sports Authority, Sony Store among others), a 24-screen AMC Movie theater and many hip restaurants. Locals say - in Aventura Mall you can find practically anything! Extra benefit - your 45 minutes bus ride to the mall is probably the cheapest tour of the island of Miami Beach you can find!
