Different Vibe in Day and Night Visits
Sit back and people-watch as you enjoy a nice meal along this historic boulevard in Miami Beach. Besides top-notch restaurants and hotels, Ocean Drive is famous for its beautiful Art Deco buildings, so a food and cultural tour of the area is a great way to explore it. At night, you can bar hop and dance the night away in one of Ocean Drive’s nightclubs. You can have a good time and picnic at Lummus Park, which runs along the best part of the road, or bask in the sun on the iconic South Beach right behind the park. – Tripadvisor

Different Vibe in Day and Night Visits
The main portion of Ocean Drive in the was converted over for pedestrians only. During the daytime, it was quiet and nice especially allowing one to take time and just explore the Art Deco hotels and area. No traffic jams caused by cars slowing down and backing up traffic (unlike my first visit a long time ago). At nighttime, there were significantly more people out walking and milling around with the bars and restaurants packed. Seating extended out from the hotels and into the streets. Live entertainment from bands, soloists or big screen TVs created a raucous atmosphere at some of the hotels. The Clevelander and the Palace Bar were some of the busiest.

Great in Daylight; Club at Night
A great street to walk along in the daylight. The buildings are cool and there are plenty of restaurants (though overpriced). It is cool having the beach right there! At night, it has the feel of a club, but on the entire street. If you don't like the party scene, stay on the beach or in your hotel room after it gets dark. If traveling with kids, I would recommend staying in after dark, or get ready to explain to the kids about drunkenness. We walked around past dark, but I wouldn't have done so without my husband. This was true even at 7 pm, as the sun sets earlier in February.
