Miami Beach: Art Deco, Ocean Drive, and a Global Resort City
Miami Beach occupies a barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, connected to the mainland by a series of causeways. The city was incorporated in 1915 after developer Carl Fisher dredged mangrove swamp and sand to create buildable land. By the 1930s, Miami Beach had become a winter resort for wealthy Northeasterners, and architects built hundreds of Art Deco hotels along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue. That concentration of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne buildings, roughly 800 structures in the South Beach neighborhood, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
South Beach's reinvention in the 1990s turned it from a retiree enclave into an international nightlife and fashion destination. The neighborhood's hotels, restaurants, and clubs draw visitors from Latin America, Europe, and across the United States. Art Basel Miami Beach, held each December, brings the global art market to the Convention Center and dozens of satellite fairs across the island. The annual event generates hundreds of millions in economic impact.
North of South Beach, the city changes character. Mid-Beach and North Beach are quieter residential areas. The Faena District around 32nd Street has attracted luxury development. Indian Creek Island, surrounded by its own police force and sometimes called "Billionaire Bunker," sits in Biscayne Bay just off the coast. Miami Beach's permanent population is around 92,000, but the daily population swells dramatically with tourists, seasonal residents, and workers commuting from the mainland.
