Collins Avenue


Collins Avenue is located in Miami Beach, Florida, a vast artery of traffic and walking areas, famous for its shopping. Renowned worldwide, the avenue attracts countless visitors from across the globe to its many high end outlets.

The avenue is also called the 'strip' and is flanked on both sides by high and very attractive art deco type buildings. These include top of the line jewellers, hotels and cafes. A number of the buildings lean more towards the nautical style of modernism, housing two of the area's best clubs. A tall tower watches over the streets with its Swiss style clock, sitting side by side with the avenue's exclusive and privately owned condo apartments.

Three of the area's best hotels are found along the avenue. These three giants of 1940s fame continue to the places for rest for the rich and famous, royalty and celebrities. Their buildings are a complement to the older buildings along the avenue, streamlined architecturally and structurally to reflect the transportation inventions of the twentieth century. Details include aircraft, submarines and rockets, to mention a few.

A number of fine art galleries can also be found along Collins Avenue, showcasing traditional and more innovative, modern art deco and art nouveau pieces. Each one reflects the love of culture and passion for detail found in the area, something that visitors find simply irresistible.
