North Beach is the quiet end of Miami Beach: a wider, emptier beach, the low-rise art deco blocks of Ocean Terrace, and none of the crowds farther south. Around 71st Street you have cafes, groceries and bus stops within a short walk.
Below are two very different picks inside the neighborhood: a 5-star oceanfront wellness resort on Collins Avenue and an unrated inn by the bay on Normandy Isle.

Getting around North Beach without a car
- Routes 79, 100 and 279: Miami-Dade Transit Route 79 stops near both hotels, at Collins Avenue and 69th Street and on Normandy Drive. Route 100 also runs along Collins Avenue past the Carillon, and Route 279 serves Normandy Drive.
- Miami Beach Trolley: The North Beach Trolley route covers the 71st Street corridor and connects to the beach.
- 79th Street Causeway: This causeway connects North Beach to the mainland. Route 79 crosses it if you plan to go into Miami proper.
- No rail service: Neither hotel is near a Metrorail or Metromover station. Those systems do not extend into Miami Beach.
