Never a Dull Moment in Miami

NEVER DULL IN MIAMI

For their visitors Miamians have made easily accessible the wide reaches of multi-hued water, the chief beauty spots, the wonderful bathing beaches, by building a marvelous Causeway, taming jungles, dredging channels and constructing more than 700 miles of fine motor highways. To the natural advantages they have added a multitude of facilities for outdoor recreation and sport of every kind, and annually arrange a program of unique and satisfying entertainment features. It is their proud boast that Miami is the liveliest winter resort in America.

There is never a dull moment here, no one ever gets lonesome. There is something doing day or night, running the gamut from the light and frivolous to the most profound. All tastes for amuse- ment -find something here that is satisfying, yet those who seek a rest and a recreation relax here under ideal surroundings. An annual feature, enjoyed by every class, are the free twice-a-day concerts by, Arthur Pryor’s famous band, from December to April, with the unclouded sky for a canopy, beneath swaying fronds of beautiful coconut palms, and sparkling Biscayne Bay for a shimmering background.

A CLIMATE UNEXCELLED
Supreme among the charms of Miami is the climate. Equability here most nearly reaches perfection. Excessive heat is unknown, it is seldom cold enough for frost and the daily range of temperature is so slight that ordinarily one can dress in the morning and the same weight of clothing will be comfortable in midday and no wrap will be needed at night. Dipping down into the sea, the southern extremity of Florida is favored by a marine climate, its summers only slightly affected by continental influences. The trade winds that sweep along with the gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean passing Miami produce the unexcelled temperate climate, both winter and summer.
