Shake up your peaceful beachside vacation with a SPLURGE-WORTHY shopping rendezvous around North Beach's tranquil sandy stretches, and discover a DIFFERENT side to the famed Miami shopping experience!   

Occupying the northernmost section of Miami Beach (hence, its name) is North Beach, a community collectively referring to the Isles of Normandy, Biscayne Point, and La Gorce, roughly bounded by 63rd Street and Indian Creek Drive to the south and 87th Terrace to the north. 

Unlike the Miami Beach majority, North Beach is mostly residential, receiving fewer tourists annually.

But before you get the wrong idea, North Beach is far from a SLEEPER community!

Albeit the complete OPPOSITE of flashy and glamorous South Beach, North Beach retains Miami Beach's vibrant and eclectic aura but with a more culturally diverse population and a heavy emphasis on small, local gems when it comes to shopping and dining.

So, if you're looking to level up your relaxing beachside rendezvous, a UNIQUE shopping trip around North Beach is A MUST, especially if you're looking to shop LOCAL!

While being MOMENTS away from some of the BEST Miami shopping destinations, of course!

Here are the top five shopping spots in North Beach.

1) Collins Avenue (65th and 80th Streets) 

65th to 80th Streets Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 33141

If you think your dream shopping session on North Beach is lost, you'll be happy to know that it can still be a REALITY — you're just taking a DIFFERENT route!

Offering a concentration of independent boutiques, surf shops, and funky thrift stores, the 65th to the 80th Streets of Collins Avenue is North Beach's unofficial "commercial" district, providing locals and tourists with a different kind of Miami Beach shopping experience, leaning more towards local shops and undiscovered retail GEMS.

And let me tell you, shopping at this part of Collins Avenue is as DIVERSE as can be, offering everything from new beach outfits and accessories to bike parts!

Beashion Boutique, Vacayland Beach Outlet, Kitechilas, Tasha Velvet Boutique, Kush Gods, and more — your retail therapy won't be amiss on North Beach!

It'll just be a little different from your expectations! 

2) Bal Harbour Shops 

9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, FL 33154
