We are considering moving to florida from australia.

 I had been told to check out Tampa Bay and WPB, but I have just seen some lovely videos of Miami itself. Could you tell me are there some good family areas you could recommend, or would you head to some of the cities north of Miami.,.....and why?

Any help you can give me would be great.

Thanks

 Also, I was wondering what the major differences between Miami and Miami beach are?
