Miami Beach is highly visited destination that receives over 9 million visitors per year. It remains the most popular destination in Greater Miami and the Beaches. Top attractions include our beautiful weather and the great natural resources that our city has to offer. This includes our sandy beaches and pristine water ways.
The city also receives special visitors throughout the year that come to our city to learn about our sea level rise adaptation efforts ranging from municipalities, to non-profits, and academia. Last year, Miami Beach hosted guests from New York, St. Augustine and even Tokyo. These visitors come with an interest in seeing what the city has done to protect its natural and built environment in the face of climate change and sea level rise.
Miami Beach is the blueprint for what other cities in the world can do to remain resilient to these environmental changes.
