Ocean Drive
On the east or Atlantic coast of the State of Florida in the United States, in the Miami Beach neighborhood of South Beach, Ocean Drive is a significant road. About a quarter mile west of the Atlantic Ocean, at South Pointe, which is immediately south of 1st Street and close to the southernmost point of Miami Beach's main barrier island, the road begins. Southeast of Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive continues north to 15th Street.
Most of the Art Deco hotels, restaurants, and bars on Ocean Drive have been extensively featured in a number of films and other forms of media. The 1939 Colony Hotel, dubbed the most photographed art deco hotel, is one of the most well-known. It has appeared in cameos in numerous films and TV shows, notably the series Dexter, after being renovated into a boutique hotel. The Clevelander Hotel is another well-known example of an art deco hotel; in addition to the usual hotel amenities, it also offers a sports room indoors, a dance floor and pool area on the ground floor, and a free roof-top lounge.
The renowned Casa Casuarina, the home of the late Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace, is also located on Ocean Drive. The home was sold and converted to a boutique hotel when he passed away. It is one of the residences in North America that receives the most photos.
