Miami
Description Welcome to the hot and happening City of Miami, with its rich mix of cultures, gorgeous beaches, and great things to do for every member of the family. Located at the very southern tip of the ultimate vacation State of Florida, Miami is known for its sultry weather, tempered by great ocean breezes, and a semi-tropical sun responsible for many a deep Miami tan.
Miami, Florida is home to the famous 'city within the city' of upscale Miami Beach. In recent years, the region of Miami Beach known as South Beach has become a hot Spring Break vacation destination with a well-earned reputation for hot bodies, outrageous night clubs, and the best party scene in Miami Dade County!
Other notable points-of-interest in this special city include the Miami MetroZoo (one of the best zoos in America), Parrot Jungle Island and its incredible collection of wildlife, and the Vizcaya estate, a European-style mansion offering a glimpse at life in turn-of-the-century South Florida.
Fast Facts Little Havana, the famous Cuban neighborhood of Miami, was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records when 119,986 dancers formed the longest ever Conga Line in March of 1988! A White Christmas may be out of the question in this Florida town, but on January 20th, 1977 it snowed in Miami for the first and only time in the City’s recorded history. Miami, Florida is statistically the most likely city in the world to be hit by a hurricane. Its location between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean area of the Atlantic Ocean puts it at the top of the storm list, followed closely by Nassau, Bahamas and Havana, Cuba.
