A Tour Of Miami Beach’s Colourful Lifeguard Towers
Miami’s lifeguard towers are one piece of Miami’s colourful jigsaw puzzle! Time to whisk you away on a tour of these quirky, iconic structures.

Starting at South Pointe with a red and white striped lighthouse design, Miami Beach’s lifeguard towers stretch for miles. After Hurricane Andrew destroyed the previous towers in 1992, a decision was made to elevate the classic style of tower into more of an icon for the city. Since then they’ve been designed by plenty of different people, from architects and artists, to musicians, and each is totally unique.
The best way to explore? On a long beach walk, stopping every block to snap photos and take in the design of each tower.

Once I’d seen a few, I couldn’t stop… so here’s a quick round up of my faves. And this is just a handful – there are tonnes more (so I definitely need to head back soon!)
