5th & Alton / 500 Alton Road / Miami Beach
The only true indoor shopping mall in Miami Beach is the 5th & Alton complex at the intersection of 5th Street and Alton Road. TJ Maxx and Ross Dress for Less are the main clothing retailers at 5th & Alton and their offerings represent a big savings relative to larger department stores. TJMaxx often features clothing from major designers at prices as low as 50% off.

Lincoln Road Mall / Between Collins Avenue & Alton Road
The shops, cafes and art galleries along pedestrian-friendly Lincoln Road make for one of the most unique shopping experiences available anyway in the world.  Lincoln Road is the center of South Beach’s social life and chances are that it is within walking distance from your hotel due to its central location. Shops such as Base, BCBG Max Azria and Neo Accessario provide an opportunity to purchase the latest fashions from top designers. And when you’re all shopped out, grabbing a seat at one of the many sidewalk cafes that line Lincoln Road gives you a front row seat to some of the best people-watching in town.

Collins Avenue Shopping District / From 6th Street to Lincoln Road / Miami Beach
While it’s not really a shopping mall, to area along Collins Avenue from 6th Street to Lincoln Road—and one block west of Ocean Drive—offers top boutique shopping at stores such as Nicole Miller, Benetton, Sephora and Diesel. And, of course, there’s Guess?, MAC Cosmetics, Urban Outfitters, Galleria, Ritchie Swimwear, Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren, Intermix, Giroux and many more to keep you busy. And for a brief respite from lugging those shopping bags around, go one block over to Ocean Drive, where the outdoor cafes at the Tides Hotel, Hotel Ocean and the News Cafe will put you in a “South Beach” state of mind and show you what Miami Beach is all about.
