Miami Beach

With white, sandy beaches, turquoise waters and an over-the-top cultural scene, Miami Beach attracts millions of visitors to its world-famous shores each year. Boasting some of the best examples of art deco and MiMo architecture, the 7-mile island also offers many of the finest dining experiences anywhere, including two of the newest Michelin-starred restaurants. Suppose your passion lies in health and wellness. In that case, Miami Beach has 44 public parks, two public golf courses, two tennis centers, an uninterrupted Beachwalk from one end of the city to the other, multiple community pools, and even an ice rink for those who miss winter.

No matter what time of year you visit Miami Beach, make it a point to jog, bike or take a stroll along the newly completed Beachwalk. Spanning the entire length of Miami Beach, the oceanside promenade offers residents and visitors a unique, nature-based experience. Skip the traffic and get in touch with the great natural beauty that envelops Miami Beach. You’ll find bicycle rentals at specially marked kiosks throughout the island. If you get tired, you can always hop aboard one of the complimentary trolleys that connect the city’s three neighborhoods — South Beach, Mid Beach and North Beach.

South Beach (also known as SoBe, or simply the Beach), the area from Biscayne Street (also known as South Pointe Drive) one block south of 1st Street to about 23rd Street, is one of the more popular areas of Miami Beach.

Lincoln Road, running east–west parallel between 16th and 17th Streets, is a nationally known spot for outdoor dining and shopping and features galleries of well known designers, artists and photographers.

In addition to the primary island, Miami Beach has many smaller residential islands for prospecting home owners:

The Venetian Islands are a chain of artificial islands in Biscayne Bay in the cities of Miami and Miami Beach, Florida. The islands are, from west to east: Biscayne Island (Miami), San Marco Island (Miami), San Marino Island (Miami Beach), Di Lido Island (Miami Beach), Rivo Alto Island (Miami Beach), and Belle Isle (Miami Beach). Flagler Monument Island remains an uninhabited picnic island, originally built in 1920 as a memorial to railroad pioneer Henry Flagler. The islands are connected by bridges from the Miami mainland to Miami Beach.

Indian Creek is a village, gated community, and man-made barrier island^[1] in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It has 41 residential home sites and the Indian Creek Country Club. The village is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. The concentration of highly affluent people on the island has earned it the nickname "Billionaire Bunker".^[1] The population was 84 at the 2020 census.^[3] The village has its own government and law enforcement.

Star Island is a neighborhood in the city of Miami Beach on a man-made island in Biscayne Bay, Florida, United States. The island is south of the Venetian Islands and just east of Palm and Hibiscus islands. The name Star Island is thought to have originated from the fact that many of the homes on the island were once owned by famous celebrities and high-profile individuals, giving the island a “star-studded” reputation. Students from Star Island are served by the following schools of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools:

• South Pointe Elementary School
• Nautilus Middle School
• Miami Beach High School
