Discover Miami Beach

Miami Beach is one of the most iconic beach destinations in the world, celebrated for its stunning Art Deco architecture, pristine beaches, and vibrant cultural scene. Incorporated on March 26, 1915, with just 33 registered voters, this barrier island has transformed into an international playground that attracts millions of visitors annually.

The city is home to the nation's largest collection of Art Deco architecture, particularly in the famed Art Deco Historic District of South Beach. The distinctive "Tropical Deco" style features pastel colors, nautical motifs, and signature "eyebrow" window shades that have become synonymous with Miami Beach's glamorous image.

From its humble beginnings as a coconut plantation in the 1880s to its current status as a global destination for art, fashion, and entertainment, Miami Beach continues to evolve while preserving its unique architectural heritage and beachfront charm.

๐ŸŽ‰ Celebrating 110 Years in 2025!

Miami Beach commemorates 110 years since its incorporation in 1915. What started as a vision by pioneers John Collins, Carl Fisher, and the Lummus brothers has become a world-class resort city that sets the standard for beach destinations worldwide.
