The beach between the fishing pier and the jetty on the north side of Government Cut was the only area known as South Beach during the 1960's and the rest of the area was known as South Shore. Over the decades, the name "South Beach" has expanded all over and it now goes all the way north to 21st Street or somewhere in the vicinity to capitalize on the name and in another twenty years it will probably be up in Broward County to make it the world's largest one-name beach.
