their steeds along the waves, and actually go into the surf with their horses. These are freedoms most
stables won't allow.

shirtless guys prove themselves on the sand volleyball courts. On the other side of Ocean Drive there are
pastel Art Deco buildings house sidewalk cafés, trendy nightclubs, posh shops and groovy hotels.
