The 5 nicest water views in Miami
1) Watr at the 1 Rooftop
Wearing core coastal grandmother, this Mediterrasian-inspired venue certainly takes advantage of its view. And what a view it has of the Atlantic and its beaches in all their stunning glory. Sunset drinks here are a social media feed must. But don’t worry if the day turns gray. Watr has a retractable roof to keep you dry.

2) Pier 5
Located within Bayside Marketplace, Pier 5 is a whirlwind of activations, food and drink options, DJ sets, and live music – all happening on the lip of Biscayne Bay. This place opens up just as the sun sets, offering you a chance to dance to the rhythm of both the Miami night and the ocean waves.

Miami is famous for being flat as paper, but the Julia Tuttle rises above – literally. As one of the causeways connecting the mainland to the beaches, it can almost be called a hill. At the crest, drivers can see the Atlantic, dotted with mangrove islands and water craft, extending on both sides.

Located in the historic Miami Women’s Club, Klaw offers the finest in Norway’s king crab claws. Relish them and the fabulous view of Biscayne Bay, seen through floor-to-ceiling windows, at the same time. Then head up to the only rooftop in Edgewater for some more saltwater breeze and a nightcap.
