Miami Beach's Ocean Drive as a Minecraft world, at sunset: 37 Art Deco hotel fronts in white and pastel with neon along their edges, the coconut palms of Lummus Park, a police chase frozen on the drive, a car jumping a lifeguard tower and a party yacht off the beach. The real strip, built from map data, in the spirit of GTA 6's Vice City. Take the tour, then build it yourself in the app.
Over the Atlantic, looking west at the whole strip at sunset. Filmed in the default look: Ocean Drive opens at sunset. The night clips show the same world after dark, as you get it with Time of day: Night under World look.
Ocean Drive from straight above, drawn from the world's blocks: north is up, the hotel row runs down the middle, Lummus Park and the beach lie to its right and the Atlantic fills the right side. The numbers are the stops on the tour below.

Over the Atlantic, looking west at the whole strip at sunset
From over the Atlantic: the beach and its lifeguard towers, the palms of Lummus Park, the hotel row along Ocean Drive and the rest of Miami Beach behind it, under a low sun.
The map engine builds the streets and buildings from OpenStreetMap; BlockMap's own model dresses the strip itself.
Over the palms of Lummus Park, tracking north along the Art Deco hotel fronts
37 hotel fronts facing the drive, each one painted the Art Deco way: white or pastel walls, eyebrow ledges over paired windows, a central fin rising over a stepped parapet and speed lines round the corners.
Neon runs along the rooflines, up the fins and over the shop fronts in pink, cyan and orange, with generic words such as HOTEL, OCEAN and SUNSET on the wide fronts. Café umbrellas stand on the sidewalk.
Flying north up Ocean Drive: neon hotel fronts on the left, palms on the right
Convertibles and sports cars parked along the curb on the hotel side, coconut palms on the park side, the drive's own palms wrapped in string lights.
The flight heads north toward the chase.
Round the police chase: the pink sports car, three cruisers and the helicopter
Frozen mid-chase in the northbound lane: a hot-pink sports car with three police cruisers on its tail, their light bars lit, and a police helicopter hanging over them with its searchlight.
The cars are generic shapes, no make or model.
Round the stunt ramp and the red car flying over a lifeguard tower
A wooden ramp on the sand with hazard posts along its edges, and a red car caught in mid-air over the roof of a lifeguard tower, a puff of sand where it left the ramp.
North along the beach past the candy-coloured lifeguard towers
Seven candy-coloured lifeguard towers on stilts with ramps and flags (purple and orange, lighthouse stripes, rainbow and more), umbrellas with loungers and towels, volleyball nets on the mapped courts, the outdoor gym and pink lawn flamingos.
Look for the alligator sunbathing near the water.
Round the three-deck party yacht off the beach
A three-deck party yacht with a pool and a magenta rail lies off the beach. North of it a speedboat cuts a white wake; to the south two jet skis race near the shore and a parasail rides its tow line.
Up Ocean Drive at night
Pick Night under World look before you tap Create and the strip turns to night: a dark sky full of stars over the hotel row, the neon along the fronts and the police lights glowing.
Straight down over the drive, the park, the beach and the sea
The whole strip after dark, the neon still glowing
The police chase at night, light bars lit
Measured from the blocks: each structure's height above the ground around it. Names come from OpenStreetMap, where a building with a matching mapped height stands there; 8 more of the ten tallest have no name in the map data and are marked on the map only.
| # | Structure | Height | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Council Towers North | 47 blocks | |
| 2 | Old City Hall | 43 blocks |

The top block of every column in the world, by material.
The map engine builds Miami Beach from OpenStreetMap: the streets, the hotels, Lummus Park, the beach and the sea. BlockMap adds its own model on top at some famous places; here it dresses the strip itself: the hotel fronts facing the drive, the palms, the beach and everything on the road and the water.
The world opens at sunset with the sun held low (in Bedrock with a pink haze as well). If you pick your own time of day or weather under World look, the world keeps yours.
It is made in the spirit of GTA 6's Vice City, but nothing from the game is used: no names, characters, cars, logos or music. Grand Theft Auto and GTA are trademarks of Take-Two Interactive Software; BlockMap is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
We made this world with the BlockMap app on 11 November 2026: search “Ocean Drive”, default look, real terrain, once for Bedrock Edition (28 seconds on our servers, a 4.2 MB .mcworld file) and once for Java Edition (26 seconds, a 6.5 MB .zip).
We opened the Java world in Minecraft Java Edition and filmed it with a scripted camera that flies slow, planned paths, with 64 chunks of view distance. Nothing in the world was changed for the camera; for the night clips the game's clock was set to night. The overhead map and the numbers on this page are measured from the Bedrock file.
The map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors, with building data from the Overture Maps Foundation, land cover from ESA WorldCover, tree canopy from Meta and WRI, and elevation from the GEDTM30 terrain model. Worlds are built by the open-source Arnis engine, and this place has extra detail made by the BlockMap team.
Install BlockMap on your phone, search Ocean Drive and tap Create. About a minute later the app opens the world in Minecraft, or gives you a download link for Java. Building worlds is free.
No. It is the real Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, built from map data and dressed by BlockMap with neon, palms, a police chase and a stunt jump, in the spirit of GTA 6's Vice City. Nothing from the game is copied.
Ocean Drive opens at sunset with the sun held low. Pick another Time of day or weather under World look before you tap Create and the world keeps yours, Night included.
