Geography of Miami Florida
Information about the geography of Maimi Florida.
Miami is on a plain situated between
the Everglades to the west and Biscayne
Bay to the east.
Elevation never rises above 15 feet
above sea level and it averages about
3 feet above sea level, especially near the coast.
Most of the city is on the shore of
Biscayne Bay, which has hundreds of natural
and man-made barrier islands. The city
of Miami Beach and that city's South Beach
district are on the largest of those islands.
The warm Gulf Stream Current
runs northward about 15 miles
off the coast of Miami which
keeps the climate warm all year.
