Miami or Miami-Dade County is actually a place that is a collection of cities and towns. It has this great multicultural vibe that is uniquely itself and is famous worldwide for its glitz and glamour, and of course, everything else in between.
Miami’s beauty stretches all the way from Biscayne Bay through to the clear blue of the South Florida skyline. Let’s explore and discover what else exciting Miami has to offer.
South Beach
An independent city of Miami Beach, SB is popular for its beautiful beaches and bustling nightlife. Along its main thoroughfare called Ocean Drive is where you can find its colorful district houses, cafes, seaside bars, restaurants, and hotels. One of its unique attractions is the home of the late Italian designer Gianni Versace.
Along the ninth street in Ocean Drive is the famous MBSB or Muscle Beach South Beach. This is an outdoor fitness park that attracts fitness buffs to go workout under the sun by the sand. The City of Miami recently collaborated with a private company to install nature-inspired workout structures for the public to enjoy. Have fun getting a tan while working out, though you might want to workout at home first before showing up at this public display of amazing bodies.

Growing out of 1930’s nostalgia, old buildings are restored and maintained for tourists to come to visit and enjoy like how it was during that era. These are pastel-painted, old themed buildings where you can have lunch or maybe a sumptuous dinner while soaking up the history of the place.
