Miami port area for breakfeast

BY the port is there a resturants where you can eat breakfast and see the ships come in and dock .I'd like to do this the day of my cruise

There's no real view of the north side of the port (where the ships pull in) from any street level restaurant. And the restaurants with a view on the upper floors of hotels along Biscayne Blvd will not be open early enough; taking the "drive of shame" home from South Beach along the McArthur Causeway one will see all the ships lined up in the channel for the turning basin around 5:00 to 5:30.

 

(But you do have the right idea, just no real way to execute it; would be nice to have a Denny's or IHOP overlooking the port as part of the mega-development plans on Watson Island)

Thank you for your answer. I'm glad to know what I was thinking wasn't a crazy idea and others have thought that might be something to do

The ships are coming in from 5 a.m. So no, nothing will be open. But if you wait you can see them all lined up later. But you'll see that as you head to the port...I'd sleep in ;)

on the other hand

 

not unusual for Miami cruise ships to still be heading in around 6:30 or later.... (check the web cam a couple of mornings . . .)

 

you COULD grab some takee-outee and head to the park at the very south end of South Beach which forms the north jetty of the channel entrance, find a park bench and watch . . .

 

I doubt Smith & Wollensky would mind you parking in their lot at that hour .... and I suspect there will be plenty of morning runners at al so you won't be alone.

 

A McMuffin and a McCoffee and you're all set!
