south end, to the shopping core along Washington Avenue, to North Beach's architecture as
well as Lincoln Road, Miami Beach is the center of chic.
On the southern tip of Miami Beach, lays South Beach occupying less than two square miles.
South Beach visitors will want to start out at South Pointe Park for a close-up view of
ships heading through the channel to the Port of Miami.
Next, check out Lummus Park, a green area bordering the beach. Other attractions are the
Wolfsonian/FIU collection, the botanical gardens and the Holocaust Memorial.

all.
