Florida: South-East Florida

Overview

The south-east region stretches from Palm Beach to the Florida Keys and is the winter playground of the world’s jet-set, where movie and pop stars, luxurious homes, millionaire yachts and fashionable night-spots abound (not surprisingly the area is also called the Gold Coast). The main cities in the area are Miami, Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Key West. Miami is Florida’s second-largest city in population (to Jacksonville) and one of America’s great cities, and the most exciting and sophisticated city in Florida (it also has the highest crime rate). Miami has the largest number of native Spanish-speaking residents (around one million people, mostly Cubans and Nicaraguans) of any US city and it also has a large Haitian population. It’s made up of 26 distinctly different municipalities, from colourful ethnic enclaves to exclusive ‘millionaire’ neighbourhoods which include Coconut Grove, Coral Gables (the first planned community in America), Key Biscayne and Miami Beach (famous for its fashionable art deco apartment buildings in the South Beach Art Deco district).
