South Beach, also nicknamed SoBe, is a neighborhood in the city of Miami Beach, Florida, United States, located due east of Miami city proper between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The area encompasses all of the barrier islands of Miami Beach south of Indian Creek.
This area was the first section of Miami Beach to be developed, starting in the 1910s, thanks to the development efforts of Carl G. Fisher, the Lummus Brothers, and John S. Collins, the latter whose construction of the Collins Bridge provided the first vital land link between mainland Miami and the beaches.
The area has gone through numerous artificial and natural changes over the years, including a booming regional economy, increased tourism, and the 1926 hurricane, which destroyed much of the area. As of 2010, about 39,186 residents live in South Beach.
South Beach started as farmland. In 1870, Henry and Charles Lum purchased 165 acres (67 ha) for coconut farming. Charles Lum built the first house on the beach in 1886. In 1894, the Lum brothers left the island, leaving control of the plantation to John Collins, who came to South Beach two years later to survey the land. He used the land for farming purposes, discovering fresh water and extending his parcel from 14th Street to 67th in 1907.[citation needed]

Walking down the street
Got my guitar strapped to my back
I'm headed to South Beach
'Cause that's the place where I sleep at
Surfing all day long, yeah
And at night we're gonna sing some songs
As it goes on and on
Something like this
Jump in and let go, jump in and follow
I know you want to come along
Jump on in, jump on in, jump on in, what, what, what
Jump on in, jump on in until the sun goes down
There's a big beach in Maui
And Oahu's got sandies
The north shores' where the surfers go
And all the tourists to check out the show
Malibu in Cali
Santa Monica, Orange County
South Beach, Martha's vineyard
Is my backyard, is my backyard
Jump in and let go, jump in and follow
I know you want to come along
Jump on in, jump on in, jump on in, what, what, what
Jump on in, jump on in until the sun goes down
Open up my eyes in time to see the sun rise again
It's time for me to rise again
Looking out to heaven, walking barefoot in the sand
I'm gonna step into the ocean sayin'
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you?
Jump in and let go, jump in and follow
I know you want to come along
Jump on in, jump on in, jump on in, what, what, what
Jump on in, jump on in, jump on in, what, what, what
Jump in and let go, jump in and follow
I know you want to come along
Jump on in, jump on in, jump on in, what, what, what
