Safety
moderateMiami's tourist areas (South Beach, Bayside, Brickell, Wynwood, Coconut Grove) are all very safe. South Beach at night has a lively, safe atmosphere. Overtown and parts of Liberty City and Opa-locka (northwest Miami) are dangerous — no tourist reason to go. The NW 7th Ave corridor through Little Haiti can be unsafe late at night.
Women travellers
Tourist areas safe. Standard precautions.
