Miami Beach description

Miami Beach is known for its upscale, posh lifestyle, designer boutique shopping, rich retirees and luxury beachfront apartments. At the same time, Miami Beach is home to the neighborhood of South Beach, renowned in recent years as a top Spring Break location with a wild and crazy party scene. Somehow, Miami Beach manages to balance these very different cultures with a style and grace all its own.

The city was incorporated in 1915. In the early twenties, the Miami Beach boom began when business magnates J.C. Penney and Harvey Firestone made this Florida haven home.

Sultry Miami Beach, with an average daily temperature of 76 degrees, is home to one of the largest snow skiing clubs in the United States!`
