Addresses

Greater Miami is made up of more than 30 municipalities, and tourist favorites Miami and Miami Beach are only two of the cities that make up what is actually Miami-Dade County. Within Greater Miami, addresses fall into four quadrants: NW, NE, SW, and SE. The north-south dividing line is Flagler Street, and the east-west dividing line is Miami Avenue. Numbering starts from these axes and gets higher the farther away an address is from them. Avenues run north-south and streets east-west. Some municipalities have their own street naming and numbering systems, including Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne, so a map is a good idea. In South Beach, all north-south roads are named, and the main drags are Ocean Drive, Collins, and Washington avenues, and Alton Road. Streets are numbered and run east-west; First Street is at the beach's southernmost point, and numbers get higher as you head north.
