Miami Beach tourist information

South Beach is one of the most popular areas of Miami Beach. Topless sunbathing is tolerated on the beaches in this area. As Miami Beach is located next to Miami (a couple of miles east) we recommend the same things to do, such as Aventura Mall, Bayside Market Place, Coconut Grove, Parrot Jungle Island, Sawgrass Mills, South Beach, Venetian Pool, and Miami Metrozoo.

Miami Beach is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 87,933.

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 is comprised of 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.

Lincoln Road is a nationally known spot for great outdoor dining, bike riding, and shopping.

Miami Beach is one of the top destinations in the United States for gay tourism.
