Can anyone tell me how long it takes to drive from Ft Lauderdale airport to South Beach Miami? I found incredibly cheap airfare on Southwest

It's maybe 30-35 miles, but the highway gets busy, so plan on 45 minutes to an hour.

WE drive it quite often and the traffic is horrendous!!! Be afraid,,,be very afraid.

Plan on at least 45 minutes. It really depends on traffic, the time of day/week.

It will be a much shorter route and much quicker if you take A1A instead of trying to take I-95.

Also, it is a much more relaxing and beautiful trip because A1A is right on the beach.

Rent a convertible and make the drive a part of your trip instead of a chore.

My husband and I make this drive all the time and love it!

If you are arriving or departing around meal time, build in a stop at Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House on 172nd Street and Collins Avenue (A1A and Collins are the same road).
