Where You Will Work:
Miami-Dade County the most southern portion of the main land of Florida. According to a 2019 census report, the county had a population of 2,716,940, making it the most populous county in Florida and the seventh-most populous county in the United States. It is also Florida's third largest county in terms of land area, with 1,946 square miles (5,040 km2). The county seat is Miami, the principal city in South Florida.
Miami-Dade County is one of the three counties in South Florida that make up the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018. By population, Miami-Dade is the largest majority-minority county in the United States with over 69.4% of the population being of Hispanic and Latino descent.
The county is home to 34 incorporated cities and many unincorporated areas. The northern, central and eastern portions of the county are heavily urbanized with many high-rise buildings along the coastline, including South Florida's central business district, Downtown Miami. Southern Miami-Dade County includes the Redland and Homestead areas, which make up the agricultural economy of the region. Agricultural Redland makes up roughly one third of Miami-Dade County's inhabited land area, and is sparsely populated a stark contrast to the densely populated, urban northern portion of the county.
Miami Dade County includes portions of two national parks. Everglades National Park to the west, which is inhabited by the Miccosukee Indians and to the east, you will find Biscayne National Park and Aquatic Preserve.
We are known for some of the state's best-known beaches including Miami Beach and its famous Art Deco hotel district. Haulover Beach regularly hosts kite-making workshops and sells kites, which are perfect to fly in the grassy area overlooking Biscayne Bay. Bal Harbour Beach is a laid-back stretch of sand is fringed with luxury condominiums and five-star hotels, has a jogging path winds around the mile-long beach, shaded by palms. Anglers often fall in love the jetty at north end of beach which tourists and locals alike can be found in the tiny cafes in the nearby Town of Surfside or the elegant bistros in Bal Harbour Shops on any given day of the week. Surfside Beach is one of the few beaches in Miami Dade County that has no commercial properties encroaching on the sand - no hotels, no shops, no restaurants blocking the mile long view of the lovely sand beach.
