Miami
Beach, Florida - It is America’s
Riviera; a cosmopolitan city whose residents are as diverse
as its visitors.
Over 7 miles of Beaches. 3 Golf Courses. 20 Parks. Art and
Culture. Dining and Nightlife. World-Class Shopping. An island
city of just 7.1 square miles that separates Biscayne Bay
from the radiant blue waters of the Atlantic. Miami Beach
is seen as a trend-setting arts and entertainment Mecca, and
a shopping and cultural wonder by visitors, world travelers,
celebrities and locals alike. Miami Beach has always been
a tourist-friendly vacation hot spot, but the city offers
so much more now. Miami Beach is no longer just a place to
lay on the beach soaking up the sun, due to an economic boom
that has sprung from the refurbishment of the Art Deco Historic
District. From café’s, clubs and shopping along
South Beach’s Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road, and Washington
Avenue; the international hotels and restaurants of Collins
Avenue and Middle Beach; to the re-emerging neighborhood in
North Beach, Miami Beach offers visitors and residents a dazzling
array of amenities to enjoy. |
