Miami Beach, Florida

By -
Miami Beach is a coastal resort city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It was incorporated on March 26, 1915. The municipality is located on natural and man-made barrier islands between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, the latter of which separates the Beach from Miami. The neighborhood of South Beach, comprising the southernmost 2.5 square miles (6.5 km2) of Miami Beach, along with downtown Miami and the Port of Miami, collectively form the commercial center of South Florida. As of the 2010 census, Miami Beach had a total population of 87,779. It has been one of America's pre-eminent beach resorts since the early 20th century.

In 1979, Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Art Deco District is the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world and comprises hundreds of hotels, apartments and other structures erected between 1923 and 1943. Mediterranean, Streamline Moderne and Art Deco are all represented in the District. The Historic District is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the East, Lenox Court on the West, 6th Street on the South and Dade Boulevard along the Collins Canal to the North. The movement to preserve the Art Deco District's architectural heritage was led by former interior designer Barbara Capitman, who now has a street in the District named in her honor.

In my traveler perspective, Miami beach was the first place I thought to visit when it comes to summer vacations. This touristic attraction can be overcrowded, but it all depends where you would like to stay. 

In morning the weather is fresh, and it is a good time to take walks near the shore. For people with luxurious lifestyle, like me, would prefer a nice cocktail to drink for the start of the day, and take jogs near the shore where you rarely find a person. 

 In afternoon, the weather becomes hot. Sun bathing would not be a good idea. Better hit the indoors pool on any hotel you stay at. It will keep you fresh in the hot weather.

 Later, it is time to enjoy the beach, hit the waves, and do a lot of activities. You can find them everywhere. I prefer surfing or wind surfing, but I can do even water-skiing.

 Night life? For the night life it is all up to you to visit. I can't describe in words how good the night life in Miami is. Miami beach is, and will always be the most popular touristic attraction for summer.

Krujë Town with the best history A view from the tower of Kruja Krujë is a town and a municipality in north central Albania.
