Opa-locka

Opa-locka sits on the Atlantic coastal plain in South Florida, United States, where low-lying urban districts extend west from Biscayne Bay toward the Everglades. Incorporated in 1926, it was developed by aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss as an Arabian Nights-themed community; its name derives from the fictional Opa-tisha-wocka-locka created for that vision. Moorish Revival details remain in municipal buildings and streetscapes, distinguishing Opa-locka within the Miami metropolitan area. Miami-Opa locka Executive Airport also reflects the city’s long association with aviation. Browse other webcams across Miami-Dade County to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
