Miami Beach

Miami Beach is where white sands and turquoise water blend masterfully with legendary architecture and neon lights, and where relaxation takes center stage. In contrast to the fast-paced energy of Miami across Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach entices visitors to slip into a more leisurely pace.

Connected to mainland Miami via a series of causeways, Miami Beach radiates a distinct tropical vacation vibe from the more cosmopolitan big-city buzz next door. Known as America’s Winter Playground, Miami Beach welcomes visitors of all ages throughout the year to explore its pristine beaches, world-renowned Art Deco buildings, and vibrant nightlife.

If you enjoy people watching, legendary Ocean Drive in South Beach (known as SoBe) is the spot to see and be seen on any Miami Beach getaway. This famous oceanfront strip stretching just over a mile provides direct access to Lummus Park and the Atlantic Ocean. Hop on a free Miami Beach Trolley to explore the bustling street dotted with outdoor restaurants, luxury cars, energetic beats, and a rhythm all its own.

Off the beaten path, Miami Beach invites visitors to explore nearby Biscayne National Park or stroll through its free botanical gardens. The Miami Beach Walk, extending from North Beach to South Beach, lets you explore the entire length of this coveted barrier island while taking in ocean views, strolling at your own tempo, or jogging along the Atlantic.

This city has a rich past. Once a mangrove swamp, Miami Beach transformed in the early 1900s through ambitious land development, including bringing in sand to widen the island. The 1920s and 1930s brought the Art Deco boom, and today more than 800 preserved buildings make up one of the largest historic districts of its kind. From its origins as home to the Tequesta and Seminole people, to a sandbar camp and then a planned community in 1912, Miami Beach has become world-renowned as a year-round resort destination.
