City overview
Miami-Dade's beach corridor holds one of the largest and most concentrated Orthodox communities in the United States, strung along a few miles of barrier island. Harding Avenue in Surfside is a genuine kosher restaurant street, with more than twenty kosher establishments in a five-block stretch, and the 41st Street corridor in Mid Beach is a second cluster with its own markets, bakeries and restaurants. Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach and Bay Harbor Islands each add their own shuls and kosher shops. Three working eruvin cover much of the corridor, the beaches are public and walkable, and a visitor can keep a full Shabbos on foot from most of the oceanfront hotels.
