Miami Beach.
Art Deco, oceanfront, and the version of South Florida that put us on the map.
Miami Beach is the barrier island just off Miami, and it carries more cultural weight than any single stretch of sand should. Art Deco architecture, ocean-facing rooftops, late-night Cuban food, museums most travelers walk past. These guides are written for the visitor who wants the iconic version plus the version locals actually live in.
