Miami Shores is a village of about 11,500 residents on Biscayne Bay, north of the City of Miami, incorporated in 1932. It borders Biscayne Park to the north and El Portal to the southwest, with Miami Beach across the bay to the east.

The village was developed in the 1920s by the Shoreland Company and marketed as "America's Mediterranean." Several of its original Mediterranean Revival homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the village remains predominantly single family, with wide, tree-lined streets.
