Apogee vs Continuum vs Ritz-Carlton Residences in South Beach: Views & exposure

In South of Fifth, “ocean view” is not a single condition. It is a daily experience shaped by site position, tower massing, unit orientation, and how much of the horizon is reserved for you alone. Apogee, Continuum on South Beach, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences® South Beach each deliver a distinct version of that experience, from tip-of-the-island panoramas to a landscaped oceanfront campus to a boutique, hotel-adjacent vantage. This guide focuses on what luxury buyers actually mean when they talk about views and exposure: sunrise versus sunset, water on two sides, privacy in the view corridor, and the subtle difference between looking at the ocean and living with it from multiple rooms and terraces.
