eighty-degree Atlantic Ocean are the glorious view

Early in the 20 th century, a few farsighted
tycoons, mostly from the Midwest , who had their
fortunes in the burgeoning automobile industry,
separately conceived an idea for a playground for
the leisure class. Among their most preposterous
projects was the dredging of Biscayne Bay to create
a man-made beach paradise offshore. This new,
elegant, city of Miami was created out of a mangrove
swamp; for those lucky enough to afford the pristine
homes built along the new white sand bulkheads of
this beautifully engineered paradise. There were
some unforeseen additional benefits to the dredging
of the bay and filling the sand pit-come-mangrove
swamp that had been the foundation of the new beach
front. Mosquitoes and sand flies no longer had a
place to breed. High-stakes\' yacht races could be
found in the new deep water of Biscayne Bay ,
formerly a shallow lagoon. Miami and its cities
became a vacation spot, Miami Beach , soon became as
famous as the new winter home of the millionaires.
The real estate entrepreneurs were delighted to find
that dredging the waters was surprisingly
inexpensive. Because there was no rock or coral to
get in the way, but only sand, they dredged and
dredged, creating more and more luxury waterfront
property. Art Deco restaurants and hotels in the
latest architectural style that was all the rage
sprang up almost everywhere. These hotels are among
the most fabulous in the world, and among the most
historic in America . South Beach alone boasts
original Art Deco hotels dating from the 1920\'s.
The buildings clustered together along the
oceanfront, are painted in a wild, delightful mix of
pastel colors of jewel pink and coral, sparkling sea
turquoise, dewy fond green, and sunny yellow.
Although many of them fell into neglect and
disrepair during the bleak days of the Great
Depression, they have been lovingly restored and are
as inviting as ever. They welcome today\'s traveler
with promises of fine living and exquisite service.
Thanks to the innovation of the founding
\"pioneers\", they have withstood the test of time
and the elements. Like the \"billion dollar
sandbar\" on which they were built, they were made
to last.
