Whether you're travelling from within the U.S.A or from further afield, Miami Beach is easily accessed, primarily by air travel. The city is located just across the bay from the larger Miami City, which is served by two principal airports, several large interstates and a select number of Amtrak rail services. Once you've arrived in Miami, you can reach Miami Beach with ease using public transportation. Miami Beach is served by limited Bus network, where a number of bus lines connect Miami Beach's various districts. Taxis are also plentiful in supply, but visitors may find it easier to rent a car for the duration of their stay.
