Ocean Drive

Seaside scenic route

Ocean Drive is a street name common in coastal cities, most famously the beachfront boulevard in Miami's South Beach known for its Art Deco architecture, nightlife, and celebrity culture.

The name evokes palm trees, expensive cars, and sun-drenched glamour: We cruised down Ocean Drive with the top down.

It's also the title of a 1996 hit song by Lighthouse Family.
