Miami & the Keys
Beauty is the name of the game here. From fashion models to deco hotels, beach sunrises to wetland ecosystems and alluring islands, South Florida is an aesthetic masterpiece.
South Florida is a land of dreams and Miami is known as the Magic City. Imagination and innovation are big here, manifest in art, architecture and festivals. You'll see it in the extravagance of Lincoln Rd, the ephemeral neon beauty of Ocean Dr, the cloud-kissing skyline of downtown Miami and in the mid-century modern design on N Biscayne Blvd. From the pink castle walls of a Coral Gables mansion to sun-dappled marinas in Coconut Grove; from the Faberg-egg interior of the Vizcaya Museum to experimental art in midtown: stay in Miami long enough and you might believe magic is real.
In Miami and the Keys, nothing succeeds like excess. People take indulgence to Roman Empire levels, from the music-video-like pools of Miami Beach's extravagant super hotels, to buckets of beer and fried shrimp in the Florida Keys, to expertly shaken cocktails mixed under a Little Havana moon. Even the skyscrapers are a testament to the region's push for size and extravagance. Fortunately, the best purveyors of food and fun are realizing the good times can't roll at overdrive forever, and are incorporating sustainable business models.
South Florida is full of natural beauty, especially the spectacular wetland ecosystem of the Everglades. A colorful cast of characters inhabits the fringes (and occasionally, the heart) of these swamps, marshes and rolling prairies. Alligator wrestlers and Bigfoot hunters share a beer at crab shacks, while panthers prowl the backyard, and environmentalists document the magic of this unique wilderness. The Everglades is nature at its most alluring; the ripple of bubbles as a gator submerges into the blackwater bayou, and the sword-billed fish-dive of waterfowl hunting the sparkling sloughs.
Americas eccentricities (and quite a few eccentrics) coalesce in the southeast corner that is South Florida. And the truly unconventional are found in the sun-dappled islands of the Florida Keys. This lovely island chain is connected by the Overseas Highway one of the nation's great road-trip byways. Here youll find drag queens working as insect exterminators, No Name islands inhabited by miniature deer, and colorful Key West: a tolerant pot of gold at the end of a rainbow flag. And all ensconced within the natural beauty of shimmering bays, serene tidal flats and emerald islands.
By Adam Karlin, Author
South Florida is an American original. The emphasis on beauty, presentation, style and color is intoxicating, and comes in a million shades, from graffitied Wynwood Walls to extravagant high-end hotels. There's often a sense of whimsy about, and more so, a palpable feel of cultures colliding; no other place merges Anglo America, Latin America and the Caribbean so completely. Throw in some sunny islands to chill out in and a heart-wrenchingly beautiful wetland wilderness and I'm sold.
Like all great cities, Miami and Miami Beach have a distinctive architectural style. Actually, art deco isnt just distinctive in Miami. In places like South Beach ( GOOGLE MAP ) , its definitive. The style is an early 20th-century expression of aesthetic that embodies seemingly contradictory impulses modernity with nostalgia for the beaux arts; streamlining coupled with fantastic embellishment; subdued colors and riots of pastel. Whatever your take on deco may be, youll be hard-pressed to find a better concentration of it outside of Miami and Miami Beach.
South Florida loves to embrace fashion, culinary trends and whatever the world thinks is hip. But look beneath the regions surface (literally) and you'll find a landscape and inhabitants who are ancient. How old? It doesnt get much more primeval than alligators, designed by nature to be perfect, leathery carnivores; predators whose engineering was so flawless, they havent seen fit to change much since dinosaurs roamed. Spot dozens of gators from the boardwalks of the .
