Miami Beach Florida

INTRODUCTION

Miami Beach is a little over the top during spring break, but always enjoyable. The early morning sunrise is not to be missed; the boardwalk provides a wonderful view of this special time of day.

Miami Beach is definitely the place for excitement! The one thing that is a must is lots of sunscreen or else you'll end up looking like a lobster. There are lots of resturants as well as nightclubs, creating the perfect atmosphere for those who like to party. The boardwalk goes on for miles and gives you the chance to check out the scenery. There are many resorts right along the beach. Each one is very elegant, some a bit more than others. Located a few blocks from the beach is "The Jackie Gleason?" theater, which was established by the comedian and lead character of the famous show The Honeymooners. There are also tons of souvenir shops as well as boutique shops.

Cubans, Brazilians, Colombians, Peruvians, and Venezuelans represent the majority of residents.

HISTORY

Miami Beach was incorporated in March 1915. Throughout the years, it has become the home for the country's most famous beach resorts. Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.

ATTRACTIONS

The Art Deco District provides the largest collection of Art Deco architecture worldwide.

South Beach, also known as SoBe, or the Beach is probably the most popular area of Miami Beach. Poverty and crime share the spot with one of the richest commercial areas on the beach.

If you are staying in the zone, go to Lincoln Road which is a great place for shopping and outdoorsing.
