pfanny37 Posted April 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My wife and I will be staying downtown at the Hyatt Regency at the end of June. We are thinking about going to the beach but were wondering if we would be able to take some sort of public transportation instead of shelling out the money for a cab. Any info you can give is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted April 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2009 On the chance that you mean Miami and not Fort Lauderdale or a Hyatt in some other Florida port, you will have to cross Biscayne Bay on a causeway to the City of Miami Beach. Depending on where in the latter you want to go, the taxi fare would be about $18-$30. The bus is a possibility, but would take substantially longer. Bear in mind that Miami is hot and humid in June. Tons of places for lunch on Collins Ave (adjacent to the beach) or along the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfanny37 Posted April 8, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks. Any guesses on how long it will take. We are trying to save a little money, but I'm trying to decide if the amount of time is worth it. Will it be a worthwhile experience when we get to the beach from the bus? Will it be more enjoyable than Bayside for an afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you check out the interiors of some of the more interesting deco hotels, The Victor, The Ritz Carlton, The Setai, and The Delano. Walk Ocean Drive. Have lunch outdoors at News Cafe. It is a Miami Beach institution. Rent a beach chair and umbrella and watch the scene on the beach. Walk Lincoln Road Mall and have dinner in one of the outdoor cafes. Take the Deco walking tour. Happy hour at the cool hotel pools. See The Hotel and The Tiffany, The Raleigh, and The National. Have a mojito at The Delano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayside is no comparison to Lincoln Av & beaches there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
