Miami Beach

Miami Beach is a melting pot of cultures, residents, and visitors. The renowned shores of "America's Riviera" are enjoyed by a diverse range of people, including waifish models, amateur architecture critics, distinguished seniors, and sun-seeking families. North Miami Beach has the most kid-friendly beaches as well as the most affordable restaurants and hotels. Greater Miami's galleries, museums, and theaters are less than ten miles away.

There's also South Beach. This popular southernmost neighborhood demonstrates that Miami Beach is more like two cities: a family-friendly vacation destination during the day and a super-chic metropolis at night. To keep up with the Joneses, you'll need to use your credit card at high-end stores, schmooze at cutting-edge fusion restaurants, dance at energetic nightclubs, and relax poolside at art deco-style hotels. The rich and famous, however, aren't the only ones who will have a good time here. More relaxed visitors can unwind on the sands of Haulover Park or Lummus Park, learn about architecture on an art deco tour, or even try their hand at fishing off the South Pointe Pier.
