Miami Beach Accommodations Near the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast of Florida earns its name from the gold coins which wash up on the beach from sunken ships offshore. The region's Northern Miami Beach hotels provide a scenic starting point for adventure seekers in South Florida, as there are numerous opportunities for outdoors enthusiasts nearby.

Active tides and waves from the Atlantic Ocean are prime for surfers, while deep-sea charters run from Miami's harbor. Pleasant, but warm weather during the fall and winter months provide the perfect climate for runners and cyclists. Nature lovers can explore acres of protected land in the Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve, where campsites are available.
