Miami Airport to South Beach: what to expect
Miami International to South Beach is 16 km, about 30 minutes across the MacArthur Causeway. It is a short hop with two complications: cruise-day traffic through the Port of Miami approach, and South Beach's parking and drop-off restrictions on Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue.
Art Basel in December, Miami Music Week and the winter cruise season are when this route saturates. Drivers work around the closures and know which hotel entrances on the numbered streets are usable when the beachfront is blocked.
Cruise passengers connecting from MIA to PortMiami and travellers heading to Brickell or Downtown are handled on the same booking.
