South Beach is actually a neighborhood located south of the famous district of Miami Beach, located between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. South Beach was the first area of ​​Miami Beach to be developed, as it was originally a sandbar that was only accessible by boat. The first house built in this region was a farm in 1870. From then on, houses and other farms began to be built. Finally, in 1912 the Lummus brothers, some very important businessmen, decided to start a project in South Beach to create a city by the sea. The project consisted of connecting the city of Miami with South Beach through a bridge. From then on, the growth of South Beach was unstoppable. In the 1920s it became a large tourist complex and in the 1930s, hundreds of art deco buildings were built. South Beach is a neighborhood that has undergone great transformations and this can be seen in the eclecticism of its buildings.

If you want to make a tourist visit to South Beach, it is advisable to walk through its streets, not just limited to the beach, to be able to observe the different intermingled styles of its buildings that help understand the peculiar development that the place has undergone.
