Lummus Park South Beach Miami FL

Lummus Park is located on Ocean Drive in Miami-Dade on the Atlantic Ocean in South Beach. When redesigned and improved in the mid-1980s, it became the seed project for the redevelopment of what is now the Ocean Drive Deco District of SoBe (South Beach) from 5th to 15th Streets along Ocean Drive. The Miami Beach park initially became the location for many scenes from the television series “Miami Vice,” and its 20′ wide Deco inspired three colored sidewalk, now faded to natural concrete, was the North American homage to Brazilian Landscape Architect Roberto Burle Marxs oceanfront walk along Copacabana Beach near Rio de Janerio.

The Miami Beach park, and the Deco streetscape along Ocean Drive continues to be featured in “Miami” location shots for television and movies, and can be seen in recent episodes of the USA Networks “Burn Notice”.

In both daytime and at nightfall, the South Beach section of Miami Beach is a major entertainment destination with hundreds of nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels.
Another unique aesthetic attribute of South Beach is the colorful lifeguard towers. After Hurricane Andrew, Architect William Lane donated his design services to the city and added new stops on design tours in the form of lifeguard towers. His towers instantly became symbols of the revived City of Miami Beach.

The Beacon Hotel, located in the heart of South Beach, sits between 7th and 8th streets on Ocean Drive. This amazing location offers Beacon’s guests direct access to one of the sexiest beaches in the US as well as to dining and entertainment that SoBe is famous for.
