Beaches
South beach is a stretch that runs from the southern tip of Miami Beach to 23rd Street. Turquoise-blue waves lap against white-sand beaches and Art Deco hotels flank the coastline. The most popular stretch of sand runs from Fifth to 15th streets along lively Ocean Drive, but you’ll find a more relaxed atmosphere to the north and south of the bustle.
Surfside is known as Miami’s Uptown Beach Town. Nestled between North Beach and Bal Harbour, the retro-styled community boasts a quiet, luxurious vibe. This pristine stretch of coastline attracts families and anyone else seeking a tranquil day in the sun.
At Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, the water is typically calm, thanks to a barrier reef located six miles offshore. You can visit the historic lighthouse, which was built in the 1820s, and follow nature trails that wind through the park. For refreshments, Boater’s Grill and the Lighthouse Cafe offer fresh seafood and authentic Cuban fare in rustic settings. There are also shaded picnic pavilions if you bring your own food.
