Since the sun was shining and Mom was with us, we decided to go to beach. The parking is close so…read morewe didn't have a problem walking there. We had asked one of the workers to set up a nice umbrella and two chairs. Btw, my wife was away in Chicago for the week so my Mom and I were hanging out. We only paid $20 which is less than in Miami Beach. The sand was clear and few seaweed were there. We swam and tanned for a few then headed home. It was fun and all.

In 1916 the Miami Beach Improvement Company, founded by John Collins, platted the Oceanfront…read moreSubdivision on a two mile isthmus. The Company named the area Miami Beach. Today the Collins Waterfront Architectural Historic District includes 110 buildings and structures near Collins Avenue. The earliest dates to 1922 and the majority were built in the late 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. Architectural styles include moderne, Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival architecture, and the local Miami Modern style called MiMo, a type of mid century modernism architecture style that developed after WWII from the 1940's to the 1960's. Its hallmark is modern simplicity of form influenced by South Florida. Many of the buildings in this district are large resort hotels. The district is defined by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and 24th Street, Indian Creek Drive, Pine Tree Drive, and the Collins Canal. One of my favorite things about Miami Beach is the Miami Beach Boardwalk, a paved pathway that runs for seven miles, the length of Miami Beach. It begins at 87th terrace and Collins Ave at the border of Surfside and takes you south through North Beach, Mid Beach, and ending at the Ocean Drive Promenade in South Beach in South Pointe Park. Along the boardwalk are parks, hotels, condos, and restaurants. On one side you have a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean and on the other, a front row seat to the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach. For the convenience of those traveling the boardwalk there are benches and water stations. You also often see people setting up tents and selling things like jewelry. While the historic buildings and boardwalk are important draws for the area, the crown jewel of Miami Beach is the beach itself. Wide white sand beaches meet the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean beckoning sun worshippers, waders, and swimmers. There are many beach front parks offering amenities like lifeguards, restrooms, and volleyball courts, fitness equipment showers, and playgrounds. Pay parking is available in area lots and along the street via kiosks and apps.

Beautiful beach, well maintained & the area around the beach is nice too. VERY busy though so…read moreplease be aware of that. I had to dock a star for that because it was so busy to the point where I could barely relax & I went on a sunday afternoon. I would compare the traffic of this beach to Clearwater beach (that beach is so much better tho, none of miami's beaches compare tbh). I would still recommend going here, just try to go early in the morning or right before sunset to enjoy it more.

Surfside is a charming tiny Miami Beach town of only one square mile nestled between Miami Beach…read moreand Bal Harbour along the Atlantic Ocean. While the town has unique shops and restaurants, family-friendly parks, and special events they may be the proudest of their beach. At the beach entrance at 95th Street you can find Ké, the Mother Turtle art sculpture which is the mascot for the town. Public parking is located on the street and at lots a couple of blocks from the beach. The white sand beaches of Surfside Beach are postcard perfect and an attractive alternative for those looking for a less crowded Miami beach. You can swim with confidence under the watchful eye of lifeguards or stroll and bike along the Surfside walking bath that runs parallel to the beach. When you finish your day in the sun there is a number of cafes a block away where you can end your day with a delightful meal. If you are looking for a serene atmosphere, coupled with convenient amenities and nearby attractions, this hidden gem is worth exploring.

Nixon Beach (Sandbar) is a popular boating destination spot which is situated approximately a…read morequarter mile south west of Key Biscayne. It's a great place to anchor up for the afternoon and enjoy the weather, scenery and the people you happen to be with. At low tide the water is about waist deep and it's clear blue. It can be a little breezy at times which can cause the boat to rock a bit, but if your use to that then you won't have any problems. You can snorkel and paddle board here and the waters are usually very calm. On the weekends if the weather is nice, it will be packed with day trip boaters, so get here early to secure a nice spot. Now the historical footnote. The sandbar is named after Richard Nixon, the thirty seventh President of The United States. I do vaguely remember him as the President, so I'm aging myself here He vacationed frequently in Key Biscayne during the 1960s and had many political benefactors in the Miami area. Back then, Key Biscayne was more or less a sleepy area with one luxury hotel and a lot of small old Florida style single homes. In 1969, shortly after Nixon became President, he purchased three of these homes on Bay Lane, at well below market prices from Florida Senator George Smathers. The houses were in a compound that had a private beach. The Secret Service & US military had to construct a helipad to accommodate Marine One. The cost of the helipad and security upgrades to the residences was estimated at about 400k. Nixon made fifty trips there during the course of his Presidency (no, there wasn't an audio taping system in the place). Now here is the kicker, after resigning in 1974 he sold the properties, which included the helipad, at a huge profit (no, not a crook ) and was accused of benefiting from taxpayers expense. For you movie buffs Scarface was also filmed on Key Biscayne. The residences were torn down in '04 when a local real estate bought them and built a modern mansion. In addition to taking in the beautiful natural views, you can also admire the multi multi million dollar mansions that are now on Key Biscayne. Mr. Nixon probably should have held on to those properties a little bit longer.

If you haven't pulled up in your boat here during the peak summer months blasting your music then…read morewho are you? This is a major spot for boaters searching for a nearby spot to enjoy shallow waters amongst one of the most populated and lively water spots in miami. You can't swim over here so obviously a boat is required but be prepared for a plentiful bunch of party people. With a loaded cooler and plenty of music, you'll fit in just too. It's not for the faint of heart and unless it's on a weekday, I wouldn't label it kid-friendly on most summer weekends. It's not a far drive so arriving here doesn't take much fuel if you're coming from a nearby marina. Don't forget your sunscreen because it's crucial for those days where there's not a cloud in sight.

This is the beach to bring your dog to enjoy some water, sand and sun. I have been here numerous…read moretimes and never had any issues. This is a popular spot for dog owners, families, water sports and those looking to get some exercise. There is always a good amount of dogs here and we have never experienced any issues with any other dogs or dog owners. Even the times I have not brought my dog with me, I enjoyed seeing others enjoying the day. Animal lovers would enjoy. The last time I went was a windy day and it was really cool watching the wind surfers. There were at least 9 wind surfers and some pulling up when we were leaving. It was nice to grab a shady spot under the palm tree and watch them. They also rent kayaks, sail boats and paddle boards there (not sure what else). I have only been on weekends and they do have food trucks which make it convenient. There is also a great spot for fishing. A lot of families come here to enjoy the day and it's always been peaceful. It's also a good location to go ahead and walk, run or bike the bridge and not only get a workout but a beautiful view as well and of course beach after. You can't beat the sky line views which is especially beautiful at sunset. Parking is free but is first come first serve so it does get busy at times. There was some trash last time I was there which is on those visiting and not picking up after themselves which is disappointing but for the most part other times has been very clean. The water clarity and seaweed of course varies but I have been there where the water was extremely clear and blue. Beautiful place to spend the day with family, friends and dogs.

I have been in Miami quite awhile now and I have to say I have not visited this beach as much as I…read morepossibly should have. I have recently been a few times this past month. Each time has been early morning till midafternoon, mid-week and the time I spent there was extremely pleasant. The beach was clean, the water was clean, parking was plentiful and free.

The most bougie beach in the Miami Beach area. Seriously, walking around you can definitely tell…read morehow bougie this place is with the Ritz-Carlton and a bunch of luxury apartments. Got a recommendation from a friend to visit here and was not disappointed. Here are some of the highlights/tips: - There's not a lot of people at the beach, just hotel and local residents on their paid beach chairs and umbrellas so its very nice and quiet. - Because of the tall buildings in the back, it offers a lot of shade to the area especially during mid-afternoon in the hot Miami sun which is very nice. - You can't walk directly from the street to the beach as you have to loop around all the way to the top of Miami Beach around the Ritz-Carlton to get here so if you get dropped off by Uber or Lyft, make sure to get you dropped off at the Ritz. The walk is around 7-10 minutes and it is very worth it as you can get to see the ocean roll all the way inland. - The waves are so beautiful here and I think they are just big enough to go surfing if you may choose. Overall, love this beach and would definitely recommend going to different areas in Miami Beach to understand the different vibes of the area. It's interesting because in the Southern parts of the beach the side is finer and there's more people and families. In the middle parts has more shopping and the water is slightly more murky. And in the northern areas such as Bal Harbor there is a lot less people and the sand is more rough.

It's rarely crowded here, which is nice. Paid parking is available under the Haulover Inlet bridge…read more There's a nice beach path/trail here. My only complaint is that there are no restrooms here. Like, c'mon Bal Harbor! This is one of the richest areas in the US. You guys can totally affordable some nice beach restroom facilities.

Nice paved walk along Miami Beach…read more So nice to be able to enjoy a warm weekend night strolling along the beach. This brings back such great memories as I used to walk here as a little girl with my grandparents and great-aunts and great-uncles collecting buckets of seashells. Today, it is nice to watch the sunrise or listen to music as the sunsets. Great place to enjoy the views in Miami Beach.
