Considered part of greater North Miami Beach, Opa Locka, designed in the 1920s as an Arabian Nights fantasy, features the largest concentration of Moorish architecture in the Western hemisphere. In addition to North Miami, North Miami Beach and other primarily residential areas, the northern part of the city is home to Aventura, known for towering luxury condos, Turnberry Isle Resort and Club and great shopping, including the mammoth Aventura Mall. Just twenty minutes from downtown, Pro Player Stadium, host to the Miami Dolphins football club and the world champion Florida Marlins baseball team straddles the county line. Visitors to Miami are blessed with a seemingly limitless array of options, with new sights and sounds to explore on every corner. A get-away-from- it-all nature retreat one day; a non-stop whirling party the next, there's something to enjoy for everyone under the sun when the destination is Miami. |
