The barrier island of Miami Beach is like Miami’s classier twin sister - equally beautiful and personable, but a little bit calmer, too. The 8th Street Designer District is a haven of high-end shopping, while the Art Deco Historic District is a candy-colored vision of period architecture. The annual Art Basel is one of the grandest modern and contemporary art shows in the world. Dig into Miami Beach’s multicultural cuisine, which draws from the flavors of South America, Europe, and the Caribbean.
