Visit Miami Beach Welcome Center

The Visit Miami Beach Welcome Center on 17th Street is the official starting point for understanding what Miami Beach has to offer. Staff here can orient first-time visitors, help with maps and directions, provide current event listings, and point you toward the experiences that match what you're looking for — whether that's beaches, museums, nightlife, or family activities. Located just off the main tourist corridor, it's an underused resource that can genuinely improve your trip. Having a knowledgeable local contact in your pocket — even just for ten minutes at the Welcome Center — often surfaces things you wouldn't find on your own before you run out of time.
