I've had many requests for information about Sobe. Let me first say that I'm no expert. But I've been there enough to shed myself of the tourist tag.
South Beach is most famous for it's white sandy beaches, shopping and night life!
Sunbathing
If you plan to take a day trip there and you want a quieter patch of sand - stay north of 10th street, but not much further north than 17th street. (Remember, streets in Miami run east-west). Also note that it is lauded as a nude beach, but if the nudes outnumber the clothed, I never noticed it. Point is, I've seen maybe 3 nude beachgoers in 6 years there. You shouldn't feel compelled to drop trou.
Here's a map.
Shopping, if you can afford it, in Sobe starts with the Lincoln Mall (Lincoln Road - right around 17th street). There you'll find all the Banana Republic you can handle. It's an outdoor mall with great window shopping and very good food. There is no indoor portion of Lincoln mall except for each shop, so dress for the weather.
Nightlife is a much longer blog post so if you have a question, shoot me an email directly.
