Miami Beach Attractions
Miami Beach is a separate municipality located on a thin strip of island across the Biscayne Bay from the city of Miami. It can be reached by driving the MacArthur, Julia Tuttle, or one of three other bridges and causeways. Miami Beach is perhaps best known for its white sandy beaches, clear water, art deco architecture and nightlife.
History
In 1912 this was merely a small sandy island in Biscayne Bay; then John Collins, founder of the settlement, and Carl Fisher, a millionaire who had already built the Indianapolis motor-racing track, set about developing it. In the twenties, thirties and forties there was a great flowering of Art Deco here. After the Second World War Miami Beach enjoyed a further boom; but regrettably it also attracted many criminals, including drug bosses and arms salesmen.
The small beach settlement that grew up here developed within a few decades into the largest holiday, entertainment and bathing resort in the United States.
