The new Miami Beach shopping mall on Alton and 5th street finally opened its doors. The project, which started 8 years ago, was finally inaugurated this week. The Miami Beach Mall has 180,000 square feet of retail stores divided among 3 levels with 6 floors of parking. The Miami Beach shopping mall helps alleviate the scarcity of Miami Beach parking garages and hopefully, parking in Miami Beach will become a little less difficult.
Miami Beach shopping will definitely be different from now on. South Beach has very little vacant land so this will probably be the last project of such a magnitude in the area unless an existing structure is knocked down and its lot is used. Miami Beach real estate is expensive, particularly in this area where the Miami Beach Mall was built due to the scarcity of land.
This new Miami Beach shopping mall will host the following retailers:
- Publix
- T.J. Maxx
- Ross
- Dress for Less
- Staples
- PetCo
- Best Buy
Big box stores are not typical within intense urban environments. The addition will certainly thrive in Miami Beach. Up until now, affordable shopping was almost non-existent in South Beach. Locals and tourists would have to drive to other Miami neighborhoods to find such kinds of retailers. Buyers looking for electronics would travel to Aventura, Kendall or MidTown Miami.
Now, locals and visitors can shop in Miami Beach. The retailers operating from this Miami Beach Mall are national brands that offer valuable products. Shoppers will gladly welcome them.
Best Buy will alter its offers to ensure local shopper satisfaction; it plans to offer an expanded line of products for its Latin and gay and lesbian markets. Vacationers staying in nearby Miami Beach hotels or Miami Beach vacation rentals will be thrilled about this new addition to our landscape.

Renting a Car When You Come to Miami: To Do Or Not To Do?
So you are planning your trip to Miami. Being you are not from the city, you may be wondering whether you should rent a car or not. If you are coming to Miami to spend your entire vacation on South Beach, it is not worth the hassle. You will find that having a car to get around South Beach is mostly expensive valet fees, mission-impossible parking and parking garage fees.
It tends to be difficult to find parking in Miami Beach. Cars line the streets and parking lots are filled to capacity. Instead, if the need for a car should come up for any reason, ask the front desk or concierge service to rent a car for you from a rental agency in the area. Otherwise, South Beach has a local, air conditioned bus that circles SoBe and only charges 25 cents per person or you can take one of the many taxis that drive around South Beach which offer rides at reasonable prices. The final verdict? Just rent a car in Miami Beach when you need to because of the following:
- It is hard to find parking
- Particularly around Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive
- You need a parking permit for certain areas or your car will get towed
- Parking meters
- Meter should have money in it any time from 9AM to Midnight, 7 days a week.
- It is hard to find available parking meters
- Public parking lots are scarce and busy
- Valet parking can be outrageously expensive and has a long waiting time to get your car back
If you are looking for a central place to stay in Miami Beach, search a long list of affordable, quality vacation rentals and holiday rentals. You can even conduct your search according to whether or not the Miami vacation rentals have parking available.
