Miami Maps and Orientation

(Miami, Florida - FL, USA)



Situated next to the Atlantic coastline and on the southern side of Florida, Miami lies just to the south of Fort Lauderdale and within Miami-Dade County, where it is the county seat.

The city belongs to the expansive Miami Metropolitan Area, which boasts an overall population now exceeding 5.5 million and also incorporates a number of additional cities, including Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Hialeah, Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach.

Visitors will find that the main area of the city is located next to Biscayne Bay, where a huge number of barrier islands are located, man-made and natural, big and small. The largest of these barrier islands is where you will find South Beach (SoBe) and Miami Beach, the latter of which is considered to be an independent coastal resort city. Miami Beach is separated from the main city by Biscayne Bay, although is easy to reach via the Julia Tuttle Causeway (Interstate I-195 / Florida State Road SR-112).
