Eastern Shores is a neighborhood within the city of North Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County , Florida , United States . It is located about 12 miles (19 km) north of Miami , just south of the city of Aventura .
11-429: It is located on a peninsula located in the city of North Miami Beach. Eastern Shores is made up of 9 named streets: The avenues go from 29th Avenue to 40th Avenue. The neighborhood is made up of man-made canals, except the natural canal on the north side of NE 171st Street. Eastern Shores is bounded by Sunny Isles Blvd to the south, Maule Lake to the west, The Intracoastal Waterway to the east, and Dumfoundling Bay to
22-832: A sea. A piece of land on a very tight river bend or one between two rivers is sometimes said to form a peninsula, for example in the New Barbadoes Neck in New Jersey , United States. A peninsula may be connected to the mainland via an isthmus , for example, in the Isthmus of Corinth which connects to the Peloponnese peninsula. Peninsulas can be formed from continental drift , glacial erosion , glacial meltwater , glacial deposition , marine sediment , marine transgressions , volcanoes, divergent boundaries or river sedimentation. More than one factor may play into
33-419: Is the senior high school. Prior to its opening in 2009, Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School served Eastern Shores. 25°56′02″N 80°08′10″W / 25.934°N 80.136°W / 25.934; -80.136 Peninsula A peninsula is a landform that extends from a mainland and is surrounded by water on most sides. Peninsulas exist on each continent. The largest peninsula in
44-498: The formation of a peninsula. For example, in the case of Florida , continental drift, marine sediment, and marine transgressions were all contributing factors to its shape. In the case of formation from glaciers (e.g., the Antarctic Peninsula or Cape Cod ), peninsulas can be created due to glacial erosion , meltwater or deposition . If erosion formed the peninsula, softer and harder rocks were present, and since
55-474: The glacier only erodes softer rock, it formed a basin . This may create peninsulas, and occurred for example in the Keweenaw Peninsula . In the case of formation from meltwater, melting glaciers deposit sediment and form moraines , which act as dams for the meltwater. This may create bodies of water that surround the land, forming peninsulas. If deposition formed the peninsula, the peninsula
66-490: The northeast. Eastern Shores is located next to Sunny Isles Beach . The right side of Eastern Shores (East Side) is full of condominiums and townhouses. Eastern Shores is a gated community . This guardhouse and guard gates were created in 1997. Eastern Shores operates Eastern Shores Fire Rescue station that is located next to the guardhouse. Eastern Shores is located next to the Intracoastal Mall. Eastern Shores
77-468: The sediment is deposited, forming a delta peninsula. Marine transgressions (changes in sea level) may form peninsulas, but also may affect existing peninsulas. For example, the water level may change, which causes a peninsula to become an island during high water levels. Similarly, wet weather causing higher water levels make peninsulas appear smaller, while dry weather make them appear larger. Sea level rise from global warming will permanently reduce
88-564: The volcano erupts near shallow water. Marine sediment may form peninsulas by the creation of limestone . A rift peninsula may form as a result of a divergent boundary in plate tectonics (e.g. the Arabian Peninsula ), while a convergent boundary may also form peninsulas (e.g. Gibraltar or the Indian subcontinent ). Peninsulas can also form due to sedimentation in rivers. When a river carrying sediment flows into an ocean,
99-447: The world is the Arabian Peninsula . The word peninsula derives from Latin paeninsula , from paene 'almost' and insula 'island'. The word entered English in the 16th century. A peninsula is generally defined as a piece of land surrounded on most sides by water. A peninsula may be bordered by more than one body of water, and the body of water does not have to be an ocean or
110-605: Was a mangroves wetland, until it was landfilled in the late 1950s. Eastern Shores is within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system. Students attend Norman S. Edelcup/Sunny Isles Beach K-8 in Sunny Isles Beach for elementary and K-8. Residents who want a standard comprehensive middle school instead of a K-8 enroll at a separate middle school, Highland Oaks Middle School . Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High Biscayne Bay Campus
121-546: Was composed of sedimentary rock , which was created from a large deposit of glacial drift . The hill of drift becomes a peninsula if the hill formed near water but was still connected to the mainland, for example during the formation of Cape Cod about 23,000 years ago. In the case of formation from volcanoes, when a volcano erupts magma near water, it may form a peninsula (e.g., the Alaskan Peninsula ). Peninsulas formed from volcanoes are especially common when
