Tahiti Beach


Tahiti Beach—a Charming Reminder of the South Seas—Coral Gables, Fla. Here is a reminder of the South Seas. One almost feels that the real Tahiti, the largest of the Society Islands of the Pacific, lies basking before us in the tropical sun. Tahiti Beach is just one of the appropriate features that have helped to make Coral Gables known as America's finest suburban city. This beach lies between the East Dixie Highway and Biscayne Bay, and you may drive from here to the Riviera section of Coral Gables, known as University Concourse. The University of Miami is rapidly coming into being. When completed it is expected to rank as one of the largest and best in the country. The plans call for ample accommodations to meet the needs of 5,000 students. An endowment of $15,000,000 has been secured to insure the successful completion of these plans. The university grounds proper contain 160 acres, but the actual setting of the university is in the heart of a 2,000-acre tract which is being developed and beautified with one of the most attractive parks in the world. This site of the University of Miami is in the center of the great southwest area of Greater Miami and fronts for a mile and a half upon a beautiful waterway directly connected with the waters of Biscayne Bay and is surrounded by the natural attractions of tropical Florida.
