Miami Beach

South Beach's city

Miami Beach is a city on a barrier island off the coast of Miami, Florida, known for its beaches, Art Deco architecture, and nightlife.

The South Beach neighborhood is particularly famous for its historic district and club scene.

We spent spring break in Miami Beach.

Often confused with Miami proper, which is a separate city on the mainland.
