When vacationing in a coastal city such as Miami, choosing a hotel in close proximity to the beach can be a highlight of the trip. A beach location provides instant access to the shore, and in Miami that also means being in the middle of the action. Miami provides so many beachfront hotels that choosing the right one can be a challenge.
