The Trip from Miami Airport to South Beach
South Beach is approximately 12 miles from Miami International Airport (MIA), with most trips taking between 20 and 35 minutes depending on traffic and your hotel location. The route typically follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) before crossing Biscayne Bay via the MacArthur Causeway, one of the main gateways into Miami Beach.
Travel times can increase during afternoon rush hour, major events, holiday weekends, and Art Basel, when traffic into Miami Beach is especially busy. Whether you’re staying along Collins Avenue, Ocean Drive, Washington Avenue, or another South Beach hotel, reserving transportation ahead of time helps simplify your arrival after a flight.
GO Airport Shuttle offers shared airport shuttles, private cars, SUVs, and vans for couples, families, business travelers, and groups traveling between Miami International Airport and South Beach. Round-trip transportation can also be reserved before your visit, so your ride back to the airport is already arranged.
