There are driving directions for this trip at Mapquest.com. If you care to follow the link, click the Revise links and enter the exact addresses of your intended starting and finishing points. This will update the distance and timing, and also generate door to door driving directions. You should do this as Mapquest.com suggested five different parts of South Beach, so I took a guess at which one. Not very scientific, but the mileage will be largely similar in any case.

On the right hand side of the directions page there are several options to further refine them. These include reverse directions, shortest distance, and avoiding highways, toll roads and seasonally closed roads.
