Sure, build an extra-large tunnel to fit monorail inside, just feet from the beach on a low-lying barrier island that will only face more and more challenges with flooding in the future. What could go wrong?

I don't think underground is necessary in Miami Beach but if they're gonna do that they may as well just use regular metro technology rather than a monorail. Putting monorail underground defeats the entire purpose, there are no cost savings and you can't reap the noise/aesthetic benefits of elevated monorail structures.
