More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The ocean’s edge tugs at the handlebars as the Atlantic breeze pushes riders along wide, palm-lined streets — this is South Beach by bicycle. Pick up a beach-cruiser at the Sun Bicycle shop on Washington Avenue near 14th Street and set off into the Art Deco District, where pastel facades and chromed railings catch the sun.

History
South Beach’s distinctive Art Deco architecture dates to the 1920s–1940s building boom; the area later attracted international attention with high-profile renovations and nightlife culture.
Conservation
The barrier-island beaches are sensitive to erosion and sea-level rise; stick to boardwalks and avoid trampling dune vegetation, and carry out trash to protect nesting shorebirds.
Reserve your spot on the South Beach Bicycle Rental today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Beat the heat
Ride in the cooler morning or late afternoon; Miami sun is intense midday and can make long rides uncomfortable.
Secure your deposit
A refundable card hold (about $250) is required — inspect the bike carefully and photo any preexisting damage to avoid disputes.
Stick to bike lanes and boardwalks
Use designated lanes and the pedestrian boardwalk at the beach; slow down in crowded sections like Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road.
Hydration and sun protection
Bring extra water and a lightweight sun layer—bottled water is included but longer rides need more; sunscreen prevents rapid sunburn on exposed legs and arms.
Sunglasses
Glare from the water and pavement is strong; polarized lenses improve comfort and visibility.
summer
Light windbreaker or lightweight long sleeve
Early mornings and breezy ocean air feel cooler, especially near the water.
spring
Small lock (backup)
A secondary cable lock adds protection if you stop for food or shopping away from the shop.
Phone with offline map
Navigation and a photo record of the bike condition help with routes and possible disputes over damage.
