South Beach (also known as SoBe, or simply The Beach, the area from 1st street to about 25th street) is one of the more popular areas of Miami Beach. Topless sunbathing is tolerated on certain designated areas of the beach.

Today, it is considered one of the richest commercial areas on the beach, yet poverty and crime still remain in some places near the area.
