South Beach
This world-famous stretch of white sandy beach is lined with colorful, old-fashioned buildings called Art Deco architecture that look like a giant candy box.
Miami is one of America’s most exciting cities, bursting with color, sunshine, and energy. It has a fascinating history — it was founded by a pioneering woman named Julia Tuttle back in 1896, making it truly one of a kind. Today, Miami is a dazzling mix of cultures, where Latin American music fills the streets, incredible food comes from every corner of the world, and the warm Atlantic Ocean sparkles just steps away.
The city has a personality unlike anywhere else in the United States. South Beach dazzles visitors with its rainbow of vintage buildings and famous white sands, while the Wynwood neighborhood has transformed into a jaw-dropping outdoor gallery of giant murals. Just beyond the city limits, the wild Everglades stretch out like another world entirely, filled with alligators and flamingos.
Keep your eyes on the water too — Miami’s shores are close enough to the ocean that gentle, slow-moving manatees sometimes drift right past the city, as if they want to join the fun.
