Sorry mixed up my bridges. The MacAurthur causeway connects to south beach and perhaps the most interesting of all is the Julia Tuttle causeway to mid beach. Julia Tuttle founded the city of Miami and it makes her the only woman to found one of the 50 largest cities in the US.

There's actually a YA book called For Real by Allison Cherry. The plot revolves around a pair of sisters who raced around the world, similar like TAR.
