It’s no secret that Miami is a hotspot all-year round, but a recent study further corroborates what we already know to be true.

According to TimeOut, a study by New Jersey Real Estate Network deemed Miami as the most Instagrammable out of 18 cities along the East Coast. The ranking was determined by hashtags, and Miami has the most with 85 million.

Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville have racked up a total of 124 million posts on Instagram. The Atlanta hashtag came in at number 2 on the list, with 40 million posts, while New York City’s hashtag – #newyorkcity – rounds out the top three at 34 million posts. TimeOut does note, however, that #nyc generates more than 140 million posts. Whether or not you think Miami made it to number one on a technicality, the 305 is clearly a popular topic on socials.
