Top 5 Instagrammable Places Near North Bay Road

1) Miami Beach Golf Club 

2301 Alton Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33140

If you didn't already know, Miami and golf mesh just like palm trees and sunshine, so if you haven't hit the greens yet, do it with a dash of Instagram-approved aesthetics and elevate your Magic City itinerary with a round at one of Miami Beach's most photogenic golf courses—because nothing says "luxury" like casually posing next to a sand trap you totally "didn't" just get stuck in (don't worry, it'll be our little secret!).

Originally opening as Bayshore Golf Course in 1923, Miami Beach Golf Club has been a longtime playground for wintering elites from New York, Indianapolis, and Detroit. 

Today, it's a lush par-72 course lined with sky-high palms, serene water features, and just enough challenge to keep you humble — all conveniently located just 4 minutes from North Bay Road.

Those last three holes? They're a legitimate test of skill and patience (or just a great excuse to dramatically toss your club in frustration). 

From the short but sneaky par-four at the 16th hole to the Florida postcard-worthy 18th, these finishing holes serve an immaculate scenery that even non-golfers will want to capture!

The best part is that you don't even have to leave the property to reward yourself — Miami Beach Golf Club's full-service restaurant is the perfect place to kick back, swap golf stories (or excuses), and refuel after a day of swings, selfies, and sand-trap mishaps.

2) Bon Bouquet Cafe

Delicious food, an irresistible vibe, and a "blooming" aesthetic under one roof? We don't know about you, but this screams Instagram-worthy all over!

Welcome to Bon Bouquet Café, a Parisian-inspired brunch spot brimming with buttery pastries, picture-perfect lattes, and dreamy floral décor, only 5 minutes from North Bay Road.

Boasting a coveted menu of brunch classics, including top faves like fluffy pancakes, flakey croissants, decadent tartines, and more, paired perfectly with rich espresso drinks and handcrafted lattes, Bon Bouquet Café brings a taste of France to Miami Beach and puts each diner under its "flowery" spell!

Trust us, with a setting that looks plucked straight from a chic Parisian dream, it's impossible not to fall in love! 

Think soft pastel tones, floral-adorned walls, elegant bistro tables, and a cozy yet charming ambiance that turns any meal into potentially viral TikTok content!

Looks like your brunch plans (and Instagram) just found their next obsession.

3) Miami Beach Botanical Garden 

2000 Convention Ctr Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Most people come to Miami Beach for a day on the sand and a taste of its world-famous nightlife. 

Others come for the culinary world tour.

Then, there are those of us who, at some point, are looking for a place to breathe without the risk of being hit by a rogue beach volleyball. 

That's where Miami Beach Botanical Garden comes in — a hidden pocket of tranquility where you can swap neon lights for actual sunlight filtered through palm trees.

What's even better is that it's only 5 minutes from North Bay Road, meaning you can hit pause on the chaos without venturing too far from civilization.

This three-acre tropical retreat is an equal parts garden, education hub, and low-key sanctuary, inviting you to reconnect with nature (or at least pretend you're an expert on exotic plants). 

Meanwhile, its meandering paths are lined with vibrant greenery, so if you look close enough, you'll probably spot a few creatures living their best Florida (wild)life.

Between its seasonal blooms, a peaceful Japanese Garden, stunning red bridge, and enough ponds, fountains, and tropical foliage to make you forget you're still in Miami, Miami Beach Botanical Garden delivers pure relaxation AND prime Instagram content.

4) Broken Shaker at Freehand Miami 

2727 Indian Creek Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33140

If your idea of a perfect night includes killer cocktails, a backyard pool, and a vibe that makes you feel like you just crashed the coolest house party in Miami Beach, take your buddies to The Freehand, home to Broken Shaker, a cocktail bar that runs on creativity (and a little bit of magic), just 7 minutes from North Bay Road.

In this tropical (not-so) hideaway, you'll find a laid-back poolside bar that looks straight out of a vintage postcard but better because it comes with handcrafted drinks and a DJ setting the mood. 

With the twinkling lights, the mix of locals and travelers, and the cozy but chic atmosphere, it's a scene that's undoubtedly a Miami Beach signature!

Kick back by the pool, soak in the warm Miami air, sip on Broken Shaker's famous handcrafted cocktails, and let Broken Shaker make your Instagram work overtime while you laugh, indulge, and dance the night away!

5) Art Deco District 

Between 5th Street and 23rd Street, along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue

Ready to step into a real-life postcard? Grab your camera (or clear some storage on your phone), and watch the Art Deco District transform your Instagram profile into a vintage-glam highlight reel that even Gatsby would double-tap.

Known as one of Miami Beach's most legendary showstoppers, this vibrant South Beach slice is home to the world's most extensive collection of 1920s and 1930s architecture, just a quick 10-minute trip south of North Bay Road.

Picture 800 candy-colored buildings rocking curvy geometric designs, shiny chrome accents, dramatic window "eyebrows," and fountains that belong in an old Hollywood set. 

One minute at the Art Deco District, and you'll feel like you've time-traveled into a glamorous past where everyone wore linen suits and sipped cocktails at noon.

So, what are you waiting for? Do South Beach the right way, stroll past these iconic hotels, snap photos of intricate mosaics and ornate carvings, and soak in the glitz of Miami's most timeless aesthetic.

Trust us — the second you post that first pastel-hued snapshot, the 'likes' will come in HOT.
