Six ways to arrive at the beach

3 passengers3 bags

The classic beach arrival. A cool, quiet sedan that takes up to three of you from the MIA curb chaos to your hotel driveway for a flat $89. Twenty-something minutes of air conditioning between the plane and the pool - most South Beach trips start exactly here.

The beach-week hauler. Six seats and six full-size bags, plus the boogie boards, the umbrella and whatever the kids insisted on packing. One Suburban instead of two ride-hails means the whole crew walks into the lobby together, arguing about dinner instead of luggage.

For arrivals that should look like the hotel you booked. A Mercedes S-Class gliding up a Collins Avenue valet ramp sets a tone, and the cabin sets another: whisper quiet, seats that forgive a red-eye, a driver who treats the causeway like a runway approach. The Setai will approve.

Group size, headline treatment. An Escalade-class SUV with captain seats and privacy glass, for the birthday crew checking into a Mid-Beach resort or the six friends who decided the trip starts at the airport, not the hotel bar. Room for everyone and every garment bag.

The whole party, one vehicle, one price. Fourteen seats under a roof you can stand beneath, with a luggage bay that laughs at bachelorette-weekend packing. Wedding parties bound for beach venues and extended families landing on the same flight ride here - and split fourteen ways, the math is a rounding error.

Sometimes the twelve miles from MIA should be the first stop of the night out. Stretch limousines and party buses with lighting, sound and lounge seating, for birthdays, big wins and crews who plan to hit Ocean Drive already warmed up. Quoted per trip or by the hour.
