Swung by because I couldn't stop thinking about them and every color combo was so cute but went with the hot pink and navy blue. It was $100 but typical for a boutique type store on ocean Ave - I'm just thrilled because the team member was willing to get me a brand new packaged one from the back. She was incredibly patient and kind and would highly recommend you come through if you can!

Vacationing in the Panhandle for many years, I am quite familiar with the Alvin's Island stores, so…read moreI knew I would have to swing through to pick up a few t-shirts for the fam back home. This Alvin's is located adjacent to the Loews Hotel and is overwhelming in size and inventory. Hundreds of shelves spanning the store filled with shirts, sweatshirts, bathing suits, towels, hats, etc...lining the walls is where all the tchotchkes are housed. Pricing is hit and miss, but shirts are buy 3 get 1, and with most shirts being $12 - $16, that isn't a bad deal. They have snacks up front and several other random items. Service is non-existent, even at the register honestly. They were not rude, they just didn't engage at all. As mentioned above, the store is super overwhelming and can become a bit much when more than a few people are on any given aisle. I was able to get what I needed, so I'm thankful for the short walk and nice haul.

I was driving through Miami Beach near Lincoln Road when I noticed this adorable store called Duck…read moreWorld. Duck World was founded in 2023 by Filip Perkon and Irene Fedotova who has a passion for rubber ducks. They went on to open five stores in London. This store in Miami Beach opened in December of last year and it is their first US retail store. Duck World Miami Beach is 1,500 square feet and offers 800 unique duck designs. There are classic ducks, limited editions, and even artwork made out of tiny rubber ducks. Ducks can be found in the form of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, Miami Beach tourists, The Royal Family, bride and grooms, unicorns, different professions, other animals, movie characters, pop stars, video game characters, Godzilla, Wicked ducks, and horror icons. Ducks are around $15. I was especially amused by the Back to the Future ducks and the Jigsaw duck. The art work is really cool. When you look closely you can see that it is made up up of hundreds of tiny rubber ducks. If you follow Duck World on Instagram they will give you a small duck for free or you can purchase it for $1. If you find yourself near Lincoln Road, waddle on in for a one of a kind experience.

I put all my items back after being followed around this store while shopping. Why is an employee making unwanted contact with a customer 5+ times during a visit? Managers response was: "I don't know what to tell you." Look Kid, let me help you and your business get a clue: APOLOGIZE and train your staff better. Get some training yourself and take pride in your business. Hire staff without a language barrier. And acknowledge that you're losing sales by disrespecting your customers this way. Negative reviews on a clothing store are not a coincidence or an accident. This was a profoundly negative shopping experience. Frankly disgusted by the cavalier response from management.

Lincoln Road isn't just a street--it's Miami's catwalk, circus, and living time capsule rolled into…read moreone. I've been coming here since the days when Howard Austin Feld had his shop here, when you could still park on the street and the crowd felt more local than curated. Back then, it was quirky galleries, mom-and-pop shops, and artists setting up easels by the fountains. History matters here. Originally designed in the 1910s by Carl Fisher (the same guy who basically invented Miami Beach), it was later reimagined in the 1950s by Morris Lapidus, the legendary architect behind the Fontainebleau. He turned Lincoln Road into a pedestrian mall--a radical idea at the time--that gave Miami Beach its own open-air Broadway. For decades, it was where retirees fed pigeons, musicians played for tips, and snowbirds people-watched under the palms. Today? It's glossier. Trendy flagship stores, outdoor cafés charging $9 for a latte, and enough selfie sticks to arm a small militia. The pigeons have been replaced by pickup artists--guys working the crowd like it's spring break year-round, angling for phone numbers from beautiful women in sundresses. Depending on your vibe, it's either comedy gold or background noise. But here's the truth: Lincoln Road is still Lincoln Road. The fountains still splash, the architecture still hums with mid-century glamour, and the people-watching is world-class. From models strutting past with shopping bags to a family of tourists melting under the Miami sun, this strip remains Miami Beach's beating heart.

There's a lot of potential to be an even greater destination spot and lots of events and activities. Live music is often played on the weekends. Excellent variety and options for food and desserts along with shops and stores and even art galleries!

Great destination with easy parking around and overall spot for dining, shopping and leisure and perfect to relax and people watch. Great mix of high end stores and regular boutique stores to cater to every person.
