Miami, Florida

Miami is one of the state’s – and the world’s – most well known vacation spots. The Miami territory offers various excitement for everybody: The stunning nightlife of South Beach, bejeweled by the beautiful sight of the Art Deco district. The bustle of Calle Ocho and the highly caffeinated energy of Little Havana. The luxury hotels of Miami Beach and the memorable hideaways of Coral Gables. Endless shopping opportunities in modern, sprawling malls and the quiet, personal attention offered by the family-owned shops of Coconut Grove and many other corners of the region. The lures of deep-sea fishing and golf and tennis. Miami’s major league football, basketball, hockey and baseball. Boat shows and auto racing. Art festivals and outdoor food and wine extravaganzas. The Miami area offers all of this – and so much more.

Miami is an international city at Florida’s southeastern tip. This glamorous neighborhood is famed for its colorful art deco buildings, white sand, surfside hotels and trendsetting nightclubs.
Miami is a major city in the south-eastern United States and makes up part of the largest metropolitan area in Florida. Being part of the South Florida region, it’s 20 miles from Fort Lauderdale, 68 miles from West Palm Beach, 106 miles from Naples (Florida) and 156 miles from Key West.

District

• Downtown (Central Business District, Park West, Omni, Brickell)

• North (Midtown, Overtown, Design District, Little Haiti, Upper Eastside)
  This vibrant section of the city includes the hip, artsy Design District, fast-growing Midtown, the immigrant community of Little Haiti, and the historic “MiMo” district of modern architecture in the Upper Eastside.

Beaches

Of course, if you’re in Miami, you’ll want to spend some time on the beach. Miami Beach is on a barrier reef across Biscayne Bay, and its sandy, sunny beaches from party-hearty South Beach continues all the way north along the coast of Florida. As Miami has pretty temperate weather, the beaches will be active all year round. Topless sunbathing is tolerated, if not strictly legal, in Miami Beach and South Beach. If you want to take it all off, go to Haulover Beach Park in North Beach.
