North Miami is a city of about 60,000 people in northeast Miami-Dade County, about 10 miles north of downtown Miami on Biscayne Bay. First incorporated in 1926 as the Town of Arch Creek, it is now one of the most diverse cities in the county, with a large Haitian American community that has elected several Haitian American mayors. Visitors come for contemporary art, bayside nature and an easy location between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Things to do in North Miami
The Museum of Contemporary Art, known as MOCA North Miami, is downtown in a building designed by Charles Gwathmey and shows rotating contemporary exhibitions. Arch Creek Park, a nine-acre Miami-Dade county park near Biscayne Boulevard at NE 135th Street, has a half-mile hammock trail, a nature center with Tequesta artifacts and a replica of the natural limestone bridge that gave the area its name. Oleta River State Park, beside the FIU campus, is the largest urban park in Florida’s state park system, with kayaking, paddleboarding, mountain bike trails and a small beach on the bay. Winter mornings are the best time for the park trails and the water.
