South Beach and Virginia Key

We left Bahia Honda in the Keys and Sunday afternoon drove through South Beach, Miami Beach.  We saw a lot of interesting people, as well as the famous Art Deco district of Miami Beach.  One of the highlights was seeing the Carlyle Hotel, the site of the "chainsaw" scene from Oliver Stone's 1983 film "Scarface," which is centered around Miami.  We didn't see Tony Montana, however.

Traffic was heavy in SoBe and parking was scarce and expensive, so we headed to Virginia Key Beach on Key Biscayne, just south of Miami.  The beach was nice, although it was a little crowded.  We spent a couple hours in the evening there and had dinner parked by the beach.

When we were heading back to the mainland this was the view of Miami from the bridge.
