Surfside is a looonnggggg walk to South Beach. You will need to catch a cab, bus, or drive yourself to Sobe.

From Australia to Miami? OMG... Am I the only one who thinks that´s a crazy idea.

Sydney or melbourne must be like 1,000,000 times better.

Hotter women like Nicole Kidman or Naomi Watts, blonde and tanned.

Higher salaries, and excellent healthcare.

You are not making a good choice... If I was your very very best friend, I´d tell you to stay in Australia or to pick Costa Mesa, or any Californian city (prettier women).

Miami isn´t the Miami that you watch in the movies (that´s fantasy).

The local women here are ugly, chubby, and ugly again. The only attractive women are the tourists you see in Miami Beach. And, there are too many men for the amount of local attractive women.

Miami must be one of those few places where ugly and chubby women can have 2 men.

of course, Miami is very wild, you can see people having sex in nightclubs and women showing their body.

But... if you want to have a relationship or several relationships with attractive and local women, that won´t be as easy as it is in Australia.

The thing is that Miamians don´t walk, just drive. And many eat fast food because time = money. So the result is these massive amount of chubby people.

Best of lucks to you. Miami is amazing...the only tropical alpha/global U.S. city, but if you are young and want to meet women... Miami sucks in that area.

I had a coworker who brought his wife from russianbrides or whatever.com.

And be ready to create your account in match.com... people here only drives to and from work/home and usually use that kind of websites to find a couple.

good luck.

up and down the beaches there are always clubs but of course the best of the best is in south beach, probably the hottest clubs in the US
good luck!!

p.s. ignore that poster "Edu983" Moderator cut: Against TOS, Women all over the beach and really all over Miami are completely attractive and Fashionable, the weather that we receive is what attracts these gorgeous women from all over the world hence why we are the shooting model capital of the world.

yeah thanx. the crime report datas smash miami and maimi beach for crime etc. is it that bad or if you mind your own business u r fine? we definately arent used to crime in oz. not too fased as im a big boy but its always handy to kno what to expect. what areas in miami beach do u suggest thats still fun but away from the pushers and husslers??

Miami is a dangerous city/county and this extends to Miami Beach as well. I've known two people personally in that area, and both have had their vehicles vandalized and broken into.

When I was working on Lincoln Road, pick-pockets galore, lots of bums, and plenty of violent crime to go around.

A ton of porn is shot here too.
