About
Miami Beach stretches roughly seven miles along a barrier island, with the Art Deco Historic District and Ocean Drive anchoring the south end, Mid-Beach carrying mid-century towers on larger lots, and North Beach holding a mix of older low-rise buildings and newer construction. A continuous public beach runs the length of the island on the ocean side, while marinas and waterfront parks line the Intracoastal side.
