  • Today, I’m visiting Miami. I’m excited! Miami’s a great city, with tall buildings, lots of boats, and big houses by the water. The buildings are cool, and I love these boats. Miami is on the ocean, so there are awesome beaches near the city. South Beach is on the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Look – these people are sunbathing, swimming, and walking beside the sea. What are they playing? They’re playing volleyball. And look – they’re riding their bikes! 

  • The streets near the beach are exciting, too. This is Tenth Street. It has great restaurants, stores, and hotels.

  • Sports are very popular in Miami, too. This is a famous place in Miami – the American Airlines Arena. Miami’s basketball team plays here. The team is called the Miami Heat. And this is the Sun Life Stadium. It’s the home of Miami’s American football team – the Miami Dolphins. 

  • I want to visit one more place. It’s called Coconut Grove. I love this area. There are amazing cafés and restaurants here. Are you looking for a great meal? Try Cuban food. I love it! And there are lots of cafés selling sandwiches and cakes. It’s a great place for shopping, too. These small shops and boutiques are popular. 

  • Miami is awesome. From sun, sea, and sand to sports stars and boutique stores, there’s something for everyone.
