Miami Beach (important zones: South Beach, Sunny Isles and Bal Harbour) is the long island alongside the east coast.
Many people confuse both cities,they belong to the -Miami-Dade-county.
Nevertheless,They are independent from each other with their own territories and governments.

South Beach (famous streets: Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue and Lincoln Road) is an area of international fame,visited by many artists, atheletes, politicians and intellectuals from all over the world.

The picture above is from the corner of Washington Ave.(looking north) and 17th St on South Beach.
Washington Avenue is a very busy street(I took this picture on a Sunday),there is a lot of action going on there every day,if you are lucky you could even take a picture with a movie star passing by.

Hi,I am Ed Melo.
I have been living and working with tourists in Dade county for many years,I have seen everything and I know everything that the city has to offer.
One day,my best friend,showed me his collection of Miami postcards and pictures from early 20th century.
