From December 1 to 7, Miami Beach offers convenient, eco-friendly transportation options for Art Basel visitors:
– Free Water Taxi Service: Up to seven vessels will operate daily between Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and Venetian Marina, running every 10-15 minutes from 10 a.m. to midnight (weekdays) and until 10 p.m. (Sunday).
– Shuttle Connections: Water taxis are linked to dedicated shuttles connecting to major art fair locations across Miami Beach.
Traffic Alert: Expect heavy congestion, especially midweek afternoons, due to ongoing road work and causeway restrictions. The East Venetian Causeway drawbridge’s limited hours (3–8 p.m. Monday–Friday) may impact access. Miami Beach is implementing traffic management measures, including real-time monitoring, digital message signs, and traffic alerts via text—subscribe by texting MBAlert to 888777.
Plan ahead for smooth travel to Miami Beach’s premier art event—arrive early, use water taxis, and stay updated on traffic conditions with official alerts.
