miami art deco beach tours

Welcome to Art Deco Walks

Please join Marty and Paula on our Art Deco Walks tours, when we explore the diverse styles of architecture of South Beach. We'll show you some spectacular Art Deco hotels and lobbies, roof top swimming pools and, in the process, you'll learn all about our "billion dollar sandbar" and the stories of the people who made Miami Beach what it is today, America's Riviera. 

Spring has arrived in South Beach! Our May & June weather is lovely with daytime temperatures in the mid-80's and surf temperatures at a very enjoyable 79' F. Days are getting longer (our 5 pm Twilight Tours are now very popular!) and exciting new hotels & shops have opened everywhere. Come walk with us and see what our slice of paradise has in store for you!
