About Miami Beach

Miami Beach is a coastal resort city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It is a principal city in the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. The municipality is on natural and human-made barrier islands between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, the latter of which separates the Beach from the mainland city of Miami. The neighborhood of South Beach, comprising the southernmost 2.5 mi2 (6.5 km2) of Miami Beach, along with downtown Miami and the PortMiami, collectively form South Florida's commercial center. Miami Beach's population was 82,890 at the 2020 census. It has been one of America's preeminent beach resorts since the early 20th century.

In 1979, Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Art Deco District is the world's largest collection of Art Deco architecture and comprises hundreds of hotels, apartments, and other structures built between 1923 and 1943. Mediterranean, Streamline Moderne, and Art Deco are all represented in the District.

The Historic District is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Lenox Court on the west, 6th Street on the south, and Dade Boulevard along the Collins Canal to the north. The movement to preserve the Art Deco District's architectural heritage was led by former interior designer Barbara Baer Capitman, who has a street in the District named in her honor.
