So instead of driving theres this water taxi from bayside marketplace downtown to south beach marina. Takes about 45 minutes but you get amazing skyline views and avoid traffic completely.

Runs several times daily for $25 per person. Not the cheapest but way more scenic than uber and you can bring drinks onboard. Route goes past star island where you can see ridiculous mansions from water.

Check schedule because its seasonal and weather dependent obviously. Worth it for views alone honestly
