Miami Hotels and City Guide : Guide Home Page

Situated on the southeastern tip of the United States, Miami is the most populated city in the state of Florida. This idyllic setting is amplified by the fact that Miami is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the neighboring states of Alabama and Georgia to the north.

As well as urban attraction of the affluent and cosmopolitan city of Miami, many visitors, of course, visit the area to take advantage of the world-famous Miami Beach, an entirely separate town. Miami is on the mainland, while the city of Miami Beach is on a thin barrier island about 4 miles (6 kilometers) east.
