The best-known neighbourhood of Miami Beach, east of Miami between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It was the first part of Miami Beach to be developed, from the 1910s, after the Collins Bridge linked the mainland with the beaches. It is famous for its long white-sand beach and turquoise water, colourful lifeguard towers in cheerful designs dotted along the sand, palm trees and the Lummus Park promenade along the shore. At its southern tip, South Pointe Park has a pier reaching into the sea where huge cruise ships pass through the channel, with a view of Miami's towers, while the beach to the north buzzes with life and water sports. The beach is free and open all day. November to April is the best season, away from the summer heat, humidity and hurricane season. Restaurants and cafes line the nearby streets, so ask about halal, and heed the swimming signs and warning flags.
