When you think Miami, you think Miami Vice, Little Havana, the Dolphins, the Heat and Miami Beach. Miami Beach is one of those special places where boating is more than a luxury, it’s a way of life.
Miami Beach Marina is popular with local and transient yachtsmen alike. If you don’t own a boat, they have rentals, casual and fine dining hotels nearby.
If you visit the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center you’ll see a 36′ sculpture titled “Sailfish in Three Stages of Ascending” by artist Kent Ullberg. The Fort Lauderdale work of art also features a marlin, turtles, wahoo and dolphin. To see more photos of this work visit the Broward County Cultural page.
One building that stands out when visiting Miami’s South Beach is Portofino Tower on Government Cut.
Portofino Tower is a condominium is 484′ tall and has 44 floors. It is the fourth tallest building in Miami.
The Venice of America has many similarities with Venice, Italy. Both have beautiful architecture of waterfront homes and Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capitol of America where people like to move around on sleek watercrafts like this cigarette boat.
