About Miami Beach
Miami Beach is situated on a long seven mile wide barrier island just off the coast of
Miami, Florida. With temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to the upper 80s, Miami Beach
is an ideal year round vacation spot. The height of the tourist season here runs from
October to May, when the weather is most inviting. There may be the typical afternoon
showers, however, they are usually short lived and serve to bring relief from the
afternoon sun.
Causeways Join Miami and Miami Beach
Miami Beach is joined to the mainland by several man made causeways. As you travel across
these causeways, you will enjoy the scenic delights and various smaller islands along the
way. Once you arrive in Miami Beach, you will notice that the area has
three distinct sections, North Miami Beach, Central Miami Beach, and South Beach.
Surfside is on the Northern End of Miami Beach
At the northern end, Surfside is a favorite spot for, you guessed it, surfers. The waves
of the Atlantic Ocean are ideal here for the surf enthusiast. You will also find Golden
Beach, this area has become a traditional favorite for the European traveler.
Central Miami Beach
The Central Miami Beach area holds a wealth of huge, legendary resorts. This area has been
the premier destination for the sophisticated world traveler for many years. The streets
are wide, and the landscaping is meticulous. Beautiful, swaying palms line the boulevards
and the air is sweet. There is a definite cosmopolitan feel to this area. Shops are
upscale and diverse.
South Beach is on the Southern End of Miami Beach
South Beach is a one mile square area located at the southern most point
of Miami Beach. South Beach, thanks to such visionaries as Barbara Capitman and Leonard
Horowitz, experienced a resurrection in the 1970s. The lovely old homes of the 1920s and
30s were restored to maximize their intriguing architecture. The structures, now
registered on the National Register of Historic Places, have been painted in soft, lush
pastels and are alive with vibrant color. This area is also home to over twenty different
cultural organizations and museums. And of course, there are also numerous trendy night
spots and restaurants.
Whatever your desires are for your Florida vacation, Miami Beach is sure to have just what
you are looking for. So come down and relax on the beach, or party until dawn. Miami Beach
truly has it all!
