Visitors to Miami Beach have the opportunity to return home as the best dressed people in town. They have at their command the smartest designs from collections in New York, Paris and the West Coast as well as those created and manufactured right in this area.
Indeed, a walk through resort wear stores just a few blocks from the grand Miami Beach hotels on Collins Avenue resembles a tour of the world’s top design salons because it’s here that a great number of the nation’s spring and summer resort styles are first previewed by the public.
There are almost 1,000 retail stores in Miami Beach and a large proportion of them are devoted to men’s and women’s clothes, accessories and jewelry.
Greatest shopping concentration is along Lincoln Road mall. Stretching from Biscayne bay to the Atlantic ocean, this palm- lined, traffic-free, tropical patio boasts approximately 250 stores, most of which are devoted to clothes and accessories. Many are branches of world-famous houses.
Nationally known stores also line Godfrey Road, another shopping thoroughfare easily accessible to all parts of central Miami Beach, and the 71st Street area near the northern limits of the city.
