Car Hire South Beach

Miami South Beach Mini Guide

What better way to experience the glamour of Miami than with car hire in South Beach? This is the famously attractive area of Miami which is shown in all the movies. Towering skyscrapers look over pristine white sands and the area is so popular that it affectionately nicknamed SoBe by the locals. They love to show off their tanned bodies on the iconic Miami Beach which is the place to see and be seen. Fitness aficionados cycle and roller skate along the boulevard and sun lovers catch rays on the beach.



The area has a long history having been the first part of Miami Beach to be developed and at the beginning of the 20th century by a number of different investors. They were smart to tap into the huge touristic potential of the area and in doing so ensured that the South Beach economy would be booming for years to come. However it received a huge setback in 1926 when a powerful hurricane decimated this part of Miami. The area is very vulnerable to hurricanes due to its southerly location near to the Caribbean Sea. However this is what also gives Florida the balmy hot weather which is so appealing to tourists.

South Beach is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a barrier island which covers Biscayne Bay and the area lies to the south of Indian Creek. South Beach is very close to downtown Miami, the port of Miami and Miami Beach, so there are many places which can be easily explored with a rental vehicle.
