    Who needs shed if you have pine trees!
    Genesis T.

    Miami Beach is an island city, connected by bridges to mainland Miami. It is known for its seven mile white sand beaches, boardwalk, palm trees, luxury hotels, art deco historic district and pastel coloured buildings, vibrant nightlife, bars and restaurants, waterfront parks, clubs, retail stores and shopping, beach activites and attractions, vibrant and diverse culture, and events happening regularly. The beach is beautiful as tourists and locals enjoy it all year round. There are lifeguard posts at the beach, refreshments for sale, and cops patrolling the area to ensure guests' safety. Be careful when you swim as there are areas of the ocean that have riptides, and occasional painful jellyfish sting. Do not leave unattended important personal belongings in the sand, as it might be wiped away by waves, or be stolen or forget where you put it. Keep an eye on your things. Overall, the beach is generally safe for tourists and locals alike. Check it out!

    Beautiful beach! I was worried being in Miami the beach would be too busy and you wouldn't be able to enjoy it. I found it relaxing and very clean. We arrived on a Friday evening and took a stroll on the beach. There is a great boardwalk that goes along the beach to walk or bike. The next morning we went out to the beach before 10am. By our entrance they had umbrellas and chairs already set up that you could rent for the day. The beach was clean and the sand was soft. Water was warm but did get deep quickly for young children. There are lifeguard stands spread out along the beach.

    I visited the mid-beach area. It was gorgeous. Very clean with soft, fine grain sand. Mid-beach in particular was super quiet and low key. It was very easy to find a spot to lay out and there weren't really any loud groups or people playing music. Hotels had umbrellas and chairs reserved for their guests all along the beach but there was still plenty of space for others. If you are looking for a livelier scene, south beach is probably a better bet.

    Miami Beach is beautiful with gorgeous clear water and coastal breezes. There is also a boardwalk where you walk, jog, or ride a bike. Ocean Drive is the quintessential Miami strip next to the beach that you can walk along that offer restaurants, cafes, beach goers, art deco, and nightlife. You can rent chairs or umbrellas while you're at the beach but if you want to save money just bring a towel like my mother and I did. The beach was beautiful and it's a definite must see if you're in the Miami area.

    This beach is GORGEOUS! The sand is a beautiful light color which is nice on the feet as it wasn't too hot. The water is crystal clear and amazing. Like a dream! There were many public areas where you can bring your own chairs and umbrellas. There were also areas where you could rent chairs and umbrellas. Leading into the beach area there is a boardwalk that expands the entire length of the beach. It has lots of foliage, trees for shade, public restrooms, walking paths to the beach, benchs, a workout area, etc. I appreciated the rubber mats that you can take on the sand to the beach area - it prevents sand in your shows and makes it very easy to walk on. This beach area is a dream with all the options it has with it. YOU MUST GO THERE ASAP! Noteworthy - we were there in September and there were lots of jellyfish everywhere! In the sand and in the water. This was the first time I've ever seen a live jellyfish and I was a bit apprehensive of getting stung.

    Miami Beach is Absolutely Beautiful! We got there early last week Wednesday Morning so that I could start my birthday the right way -lol. The temperature was around the high 80's so it was great weather. Miami Beach is in walking distance as our hotel was a few blocks away from Ocean Drive. Miami has gorgeous Palm Trees as far as the eye can see and the ones at Miami Beach are so pretty. Bike riding is also enjoyable to do along the stretch. Miami Beach also has volleyball nets set up all across the entryway. Once we walked down 7th Street and cut across, we were able to get access to the beach entrance where our hotel representative (from The Good Times Hotel) was located in order to get the beach chairs. There were also games like Jenga, Bean Bag Games and Connect 4 set up to play. Because the hotel has some sort of package, there was no fee for the beach chair rentals - we definitely enjoyed this perk. When we got to the beach, we picked out two chairs closest to the water as possible to get a beautiful view. Miami Beach was peaceful, calm and serene that morning and the sand is soft. Fantastic to see lovely Blue Skies, people parasailing, surfing and taking in the sunny sights, etc. Although the beach has a massive amount of seaweed everywhere and it makes it difficult to actually get into the water at first, Miami Beach is lovely overall and it made for a nice experience. There is a cart on the beach where one can purchase snacks, etc. Umbrella rentals from the Boucher Brothers of South Beach are $20. Restrooms are closer towards Ocean Drive along w/ the outdoor shower areas to rinse off. You also get a good view of individuals using the outdoor exercise equipment nearest to the bathroom area. Miami Beach is closed from 10pm-5am.

    Me! Enjoying the beautiful Miami Beach sunset.

    My fave beach in the U.S of A. Being from LaLa land, the sand hurts, there is glass everywhere and the water is freezing cold. In Miami the sand felt so fine under my pretty feet and the water was warm omg! Of course there are much better beach outside of the states. But I'm referring to the states, hence this review. Of course there are restaurants, bars and clubs surrounding the beach, so it's super crowded and you really can't relax too much, unless you go during the down time of course. But whatever it is you're looking for in a beach, Miami is it and you're sure to enjoy yourself!

    I was so excited about going to the beach. Unfortunately, an unusual winter storm hit the Miami area. The beach was closed. Very sad. I learned a lesson. Please check the weather forecast before your travel. This area is hurricane-prone. Even in winter, some of the unpredictable weather might hit!

    Somehow this beach wasn't swamped on a Saturday late morning/midday. While driving in I did some brief research and found that parking in the 17th street parking garage was the best bet - with a 5 block walk to the sand. There is a large amount of hotels etc lining the beach which all have their own chairs and umbrellas and the ability to order food with guys who run the food out to you. The sand was white, the water green, a little bit of reef floaters in the water - and it was disappointing with the water being pretty warm. But - coming back to $6 for parking total and having a day on the beach was fine with me. Surprisingly painless and easy to negotiate.

    Came here for memorial day weekend and it wasn't as packed as I thought it was going to be. I did take a little bit for us to find street parking, but we were lucky enough to find a good space after many turns, the water was very murky though maybe because of all the boats in the area

    Miami Beach isn't really my kind of place, but we wanted to at least check it out. We spent a day here and my favorite part was Ocean Drive. I loved the art deco architecture of the buildings. The beach itself was the nicest one we found in Miami, but it was also pretty crowded because of that. We still enjoyed walking along it. It definitely has the fancy, over the top kind of feeling to it everywhere you go. I'm sure the night life scene is good, but we were there during the middle of the pandemic and that's not really our kind of thing. There's plenty of parking but expect to pay for it (whether it's on the street or in a garage/lot). It's worth a stop, but I preferred the Wynwood and Little Havana neighborhoods.

    I had to do a review on Miami beach ,this place is one of me and my wife's most exciting places in the United states to visit. We have been to this particular beach on numerous occasions. The beach itself is a nice beach,nice size bathrooms, a place to rinse the sand off your self. The water is clean and blue and nice white sand. You have a nice walking path ,along with a bike path ,you are basically sharing the paths. The park has a bike share program,were you can rent the bicycles with credit card for a hour or two.if you like exercising this is the perfect beach for you. You have alot of people in the park side of the beach ,sight seeing working out ,or just sight seeing, or just being a tourist. The path are pretty long ,so be prepared for the walk ,or the bike ride.i have road around the whole beach once on a bike share bike.The bikes aren't that fast ,but you can make them do. With all the palm trees surrounding the park of the beach, makes it look really fascinating. The park is really busy depending on what time if the year you are there. And one of the most fascinating part of the beach is that it's in the middle south beach and it's on the famous ocean drive that has some of the most Beautifulest architecture of buildings and out side dinning restaurants anywhere around. You are literally right across the street from the Versace mansion, Havana 1957 which my wife celebrated her birthday at,its a great Cuban restaurant. Shake shack, the sugar factory that I celebrated my birthday some years back. plus all of the luxury hotels from back in the 60s and 70s & 80s with palm trees outside of them, and the, bars ,shops etc .with locations straight out of movie scenes like scarface, the motel is right across the street from the beach, and has become a major tourist attraction. Don't for get the famous Lincoln road is only minutes from the beach by car. for all you clothes and sneaker shoppers. Lincoln road has it all .if you know about a Miami beach you know about Lincoln road ,and the movie theater imax is right there as well, a few blocks away from there is the famous yardbird restaurant for soul food and seafood lovers. I could go on all day about Miami beach, but if you never been there before at least go once in your life time.

    Miami in August is hot, hot, hot. We were thankful for the solace of the ocean, so would like to take this opportunity to thank Mother Nature. While even the water was warm, it felt fantastic and made for a great beach day. The Miami Beach lifeguard stands are painted in the cutest colors and looked very iconic. Our hotel let us rent two beach chairs per room on this beach and there are stands that allow you to rent an umbrella for the day for a about $20... worth it. People were walking around with little coolers with homemade cocktails, which was nice and also maybe risky for consumers. All in all, it was way less chaotic at the beach than I expected it to be which was great.
