Miami Beach Shopping Tips by vanessadb

Name of Shop: Collins Avenue

Shopping in Miami usually happens in malls, such as Aventura or Dadeland. It is not like in other places like NYC or Europe where you are able to walk in the streets and wander different boutiques. The only good exception is Collins Avenue on South Beach where you can walk around and shop designer's boutiques as well as all the franchises. If you have time, you can also take the side streets off Collins and wander around Washington but the shops are more sparse.

Coconut Grove also has that but in a much smaller scale.

What To Buy: Men's and women's clothing

Name of Shop: Aventura, Dadeland, Bal Harbour, and Sawgrass

If you are interested in going mall shopping, I would suggest, depending on your budget and what you are looking for:

Aventura or Dadeland: in both of these you will find department stores such as Burdines, as well as all the franchise stores like Guess, Gap, ZARA, Abercrombie, Victoria's Secret, etc... Aventura is bigger and has more variety though. Aventura is located at 19501 Biscayne Blvd and Dadeland on Kendall Dr (SW 88th St) and US1.

Bal Harbour on the other hand has all the very high end boutiques like Gucci and Hermes. location: 125th Street and Collins

Last but not least, Sawgrass Mills, which is further away near Fort Lauderdale, but is cheaper as it has all the outlets.... located at 12801 West Sunrise Boulevard
