OCEAN DRIVE AND LINCOLN ROAD ART DECO WALKING TOUR IN TRANSIT
A drive from the port will take you across the McArthur Causeway to the southern part of Miami Beach, known as South Beach, incorporating the Art Deco Historic District. In 1979, the art district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Miami Beach is known to have the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, and the Miami Design Preservation League was formed in 1975 to preserve and restore these historic buildings, which are from the 1930s – 1940s. Enjoy a leisurely walk with your guide along Ocean Drive, and the beach boardwalk, to view some of these historic gems, including the Park Central, Beacon, Colony, Cardozo, and the Gianni Versace mansion, where the world famous fashion designer lived and in 1997 was shot and killed on the steps. The walk continues to Lincoln Road, an original pedestrian friendly shopping area of Miami Beach, before your return to the ship.
