The lantern bobbing in the guide’s hand cuts a warm circle through humid air as ocean breeze teases palm fronds. You step off Ocean Drive and the neon and art‑deco façades take on a new character — their shadows long, their histories louder — while the Atlantic seems to watch and whisper from across the sand.
