Waterfront
I've been to South Beach a few times over the years and as a creature of habit, I often frequent the same stretch of South Beach from say around Loews Miami Beach Hotel to Wet Willie's on Ocean Drive. FYI: These two spots will be coming to The Guide this Summer! Also, this Summer, this creature of habit thing will be taking a back seat as we continue to explore new spaces, places & things. It's a process, folks.
One of the main reasons for my last trip to South Beach was to capture a moment like this above video to bring to you, if you couldn't get away for yourself, a little slice of calm & peace. Check out the original Blog post Take Your Moment!.
Being by the water always brings me joy, and I hope that it does the same for you. My dad is drawn to the water and enjoys his local spot often. I guess I get it from my pops. Hey, Daddy-O!
