Introduction

South Beach is the most famous stretch of Miami Beach—white sand, the blue Atlantic and the Art Deco Historic District. Ocean Drive is lined with pastel streamlined buildings, neon and sidewalk cafés, the very emblem of Miami's tropical-metropolis style. Days bring sunbathing and volleyball; nights turn into parties and fashion. Whether for the sun, the design or the nightlife, it is Miami's quintessential shoreline.
