Biking is an enjoyable sport that is beneficial for your fitness. However, when you’re cruising along crowded streets like those in Miami Beach, there is still the possibility of automobiles. Thankfully, this very issue is answered by a newly launched bike lane in the city.
Washington Avenue is the first road in the barrier island to debut a parking-protected bike lane, not just in the area, but in the South Florida region! Locals, companies, and daily cyclists have also praised the lanes which go a long way in keeping locals and tourists safe as they get around.
These parking-protected lanes have been used in other places of the world, despite being newly introduced to South Florida. The lane is labeled with white and green paint lines and they stretch through both sides of Washington Avenue, running from Lincoln Road to Fifth Street. A collection of parallel parking cars that often act as more of a buffer separate the lanes from street traffic. Both sides of Washington Avenue have been narrowed to a sole lane of traffic to accommodate these additional lanes.
Have you used the new bike lanes yet? Maybe you’ve seen them in person. To learn more about them, visit the Miami Herald link at https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-beach/article246062925.html.

How does the sound of watching a movie on a giant rooftop screen sound? That’s the idea being proposed for Miami Beach’s Lincoln Road. The developer behind the project is thinking about using the extra parking spaces of the recently built garage to create an outdoor cinema experience provided it can get a permit for such a project.
Few would disagree that Miami Beach is brimming with an assortment of places to eat. However, many of these places have had to adapt to changes, including limiting dining experiences to takeout or delivery. The Ocean Grill at the Setai Hotel is not one of these places.
The Bayshore Municipal Golf Course Par-3 in the neighborhood of the same name in Miami Beach has remained inactive for well over a decade. Five years ago, the city sought to do something about the golf course, creating a plan to convert it into a public park. After being long in the works, the plans are nearly final.
One of the many major headlines this week is Miami-Dade County allowing restaurants to reopen for their doors for indoor dining customers, albeit with limitations in place such as operating at 50% capacity and with no live music or entertainment. Furthermore, tables will be restricted to a maximum of six people. The news arrives after the county mayor decided to prohibit indoor dining following the rise in coronavirus cases back in May and June. Cases have since declined.
As summer rolls on, several Miami Beach hotels and eateries are looking to entice locals and tourists into spending a few days enjoying the season in the barrier island. Whether it’s a vacation or a staycation, let’s check out some of the offers currently available.
In previous years, Miami Spice has remained a tradition where numerous restaurants provide three-course lunch and dinner menus for $25 and $39, respectively. Given the existing circumstances, a lot of places aren’t offering the traditional indoor dining experience synonymous with the event. However, many of them are still recognizing Miami Spice by offering special takeout menu options.
