Indeed. Miami is nasty and frightening. On one side of an avenue you can have a $20M mansion, and on the other, a monstrous third world crack slum. I think the discontinuity of the whole city is just so strange! I just don't really care for the contiguous sprawl that starts with the Palm Beaches and stretches all the way to Homestead/Florida City, either. I've been the the Florida panhandle a couple of times too and am as equally "meh" about it.
I love the middle/lower Keys myself. I used to drive to Key West every year, and the drive through the Keys never got old (except the painfully slow traffic). Bahia Honda is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been on. No development, perfectly crystal clear water, tropical fish swimming around your feet, coral reefs = no waves... it's just paradise.
