Get to know Golden Beach

Maybe a thousand people are lucky enough to call Golden Beach home, and that’s only when everyone has relatives staying over. What was once all mangroves and dunes was consciously molded into an intimate community at one with the ocean. Some backyards open right onto soft sands. The town is a barrier island between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic, with cruiser-sized carveouts on the channel side along its one-mile length. It nods slightly to Venice, another locale in harmony with its watery surroundings, with Italian-inspired street names like Massini and Palermo. Aventura is the closest town with retail, though most Golden Beachers travel south on the beach highway to Bal Harbour for their dining and shopping fix. No high-rise or commercial development is allowed here, meaning Golden Beach is a place of neither hustle nor bustle.

Living in Miami-Dade

In Florida, “going south” is hardly a bad thing. Miami-Dade includes and surrounds the southernmost metropolis in the entire continental United States — and as the most populous county in the state, it’s home to a confluence of culture, cuisine, and recreation like no other. Its most dense stretch lies clustered in a strip roughly 20 miles wide, with a high rise-studded coastline balanced by more spread-out suburban neighborhoods that become increasingly prevalent heading inland. Miami-Dade also includes the upper Florida Keys and, lesser-known at large, a $2 billion agricultural industry operating predominantly in the lower half of the county, where farm fields operate in symbiosis with wildlife conservation and water recharge habitats. Residents commuting to the commercial districts of Miami benefit from the extensive Metrorail system, serving 23 stations along a 24-mile route between Palmetto and Kendall with a connection to Miami International Airport.
