South Beach (map)
is the southernmost point of Miami Beach (web
site). It spreads out from south to north, from 1st street to 23th street.
It is also the most "ancient" part of Miami as the first building
development started here at the beginning of last century.
On
12th June 1913 the Collins Bridge was opened, the toll bridge which
was the first continuative
connection between the mainland and a barrier island uninhabited until
then, situated at some distance from the coast and later to become
world famous as Miami Beach.
|
|
In South Beach, next to
the wide beach facing the Ocean, close to the Collins Bridge, a group of
brave developers who would become legend, started the bulding boom which
reached a peak in the twenties. Among these pioneers, Carl Gramhar Fischer,
eclectic promoter of both the Lincoln Highway, the first to cross the USA,
and the Dixie Highway which, linking Indiana to South East Florida, reached
Miami.
 |
And it was to the
far south of Miami Beach, South Beach, that Fischer, together with
other brave investors, started the building of what would soon become
one of the most famous and important seaside resorts in the United
States.
|
It was because of the vision,
futuristic for the times, of what was to become the most important means
of transport, the car, that on that deserted stretch of sand separated from
the coast, Fischer and others built a complex of hotels and residential blocks
in few years and in the same style,
| that Art
Deco which is still a typical feature of South Beach. |
|
Today South Beach is of
the few seaside resorts where the tourist can spend the whole day
 |
from
the beach, |
| to bars,
restaurants |
 |
 |
and night clubs. |
Paradoxically the town
born for car tourism, in the age of mass long-distance air transport allows
the visitor to live comfortably without a car.
