"',civ Miami Beach, the Cold Coast of Miami and
. , . s — • t technically a separate city,is a 10-mile sandbar
� , '. ( 1 connected with the mainland by causeways
.tt' �`` tt r over Biscayne Bay. Its social life—it has al-
eit ' " ��. most no other kind—centers around the swim-
1 i . I• t ming pool.Many of the big houses and almost
!lJJT all the expensive hotels have pools.They also
" T own big stretches of the magnificent white
" beaches on which they front, a fact which
e ` r ,�' - makes it somewhat difficult for the common
"" I s man to go swimming at Miami Beach.
-, •„ Miami Beach residents breakfast,lunch and
In.
�`.r. + i` sometimes dine on terraces edging their pools
__ .-r' �w (below).They read there,doze there and sun-
battle there. They play gin rummy,drink ape-
r' .rtev• t n.r 4
t ' -, ritifs and gossip alongside their pools. Some-
- * "" .,, .:_...,--, times they even swim in them.
- w �> .,x'- This nonaquatic trend is even more notice- ,
44able around the Miami Beach hotels.The dis-
"_ lies M► .t taff side of hotel life,with typical Miamian re-
Bard for appearance, tends to make itself up
with enormous care;a single dive could ruin
hours of work before the dressing table and
f r r1y:1� many dollars' worth of facials. Still another
/ ,t reason is that in Miami Beach the bathingsuit
tit
£ is worn to cocktail parties, lunches, dances,
teas and on the street,and has been sublimated
}r wt• -. accordingly.It may lie some little thing of pure
' ; silk costing only$45,but it may also be a ere-
- i ation of gold-trimmed velvet or sequins and
ermine at$145.In any case it must not get wet.
Nonetheless the presence of so many pools;
and of so many scantily attired people,all pur-,
wing the common goal of pleasure, is a major
factor in giving Miami Beach its atmosphere;
�� � �� unique in the U.S.,of uninhibited paganism.
