Douglas was an author and environmentalist whose seminal book The Everglades: River of Grass brought awareness to the importance of this ecosystem preserving it from development. She worked with Ernest Coe to have the Everglades named a National Park. Douglas was a tireless champion for the environment and so it seems appropriate that a number of parks have been named in her honor, including this beach park in Miami Beach. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Ocean Beach Park has a limited number of metered spaces along the street. Parking can be frustrating depending on how busy the park is. It is worth the effort though because the park is a leafy green oasis filled with tall shade trees. As I was walking around I couldn't help but notice the trees were filled with squeaky Monk Parakeets. The centerpiece of the park is an enclosed, large, shade covered playground with poured in place surface surrounded by benches. There are two play sections, one for ages 2-5, and one for ages 5-12. The playground has slides and climbing structures. Other park amenities include a shower, restrooms, and a water fountain. Surrounding the park are large paved paths ideal for walking and biking. The park offers direct beach access and at the perimeter you can pick up an electric City Bike which I think is the best and most fun way to see South Beach and avoid the parking headache. With the playground, beach, and all the other amenities, this is a great place for a family outing.

Ahoy Matey! Did you know there is a pirate themed playground in Altos Del Mar Park in Miami Beach?…read moreGather up the crew and anchors away for the most almost free fun a fledgling pirate can have. You still have to pay for parking. I recommend the parking lot next door. The Pirate Park Playground was built by Superior Playgrounds who was tasked with designing a one-of-a-kind pirate theme play space to spark creative play and provide a safe place for budding buccaneers to play. The playground is made of recycled material like milk jugs and was created to be corrosion resistant so that it would always look good in this salt water coastal ecosystem. Located only 100 feet from the beach, the playground is fenced in for safety. There is a large pirate ship for older children to climb on and slide down and a smaller area for younger privateers. The crows nest with rigging looked especially fun to climb. Other playground play structures include clownfish and blue tang fish spring riders, a custom octopus playhouse, and palm tree shade. There are four triangle sail shades and poured-in-place safety surfacing to protect little knees and bottoms. Bathrooms are nearby. During my visit the playground was filled with kids and their families enjoying the nautical theme. This unique play space fosters imagination and physical movement for the youngest North Beach residents and visitors.

You get a mix of nature and city views at the same time. Plus, there are plenty of good restaurants and bars nearby, so it's a nice place to hang out and enjoy the area. Park also offers Amphitheater: Hosting up to 10,000 guests for concerts, festivals, and performances. Tina Hills Pavilion: A charming open-air venue perfect for smaller gatherings and community events.

Otherwise it's $20 at that garage. The garden is free and open to all, showcasing lots of orchids, both native and foreign plants and trees, and several water features with turtles and koi fish. I was very impressed by the vanilla orchid - so beautiful! There is no food available for purchase, but there were some drinks available in the small gift shop. My only complaint was the audio tour, though appreciated, is difficult to follow and I gave up on it. It would be better with a more clear map and better descriptions for where to look for the particular plant/tree being discussed in the audio. Lincoln road, with food, drink, and shopping options, is nearby in walking distance, perfect to round out an afternoon at the garden.

Whether you want to swim, relax, fly a kite, or just enjoy the breeze, this place delivers. One of the coolest things about Haulover is how much it offers in one area picnic spots, tennis courts, a marina, walking paths, and even a dog park. There's also a clearly marked clothing-optional section, which is respectful and well organized for those who choose to visit it. Parking is convenient (though it can fill up on weekends), restrooms and outdoor showers are available, and lifeguards are usually on duty. The atmosphere feels safe, relaxed, and welcoming for families, couples, and solo visitors alike. If you're looking for a beach that's less chaotic than South Beach but still full of life and options, Haulover Park is a must-visit. I always enjoy my time here and keep coming back.

Collins donated as a permanent public park in 1914. Collins was an American Quaker farmer from Moorestown, New Jersey who moved to South Florida at the turn of the 20th century. Along with Carl Fisher and the Lummus Brothers, Collins was a founder and developer of Miami Beach. He was a farmer, horticulturalist and innovator. Collins Park marks the start of South Beach's boardwalk which extends for more than 20 city blocks and it is home to the Bass Museum of Art. The museum is located in a keystone building built in 1930 as a library and cultural center and was designed by Collins' grandson Russell Pancoast. In 1964 it became the first permanent museum in Miami-Dade County. Today the park is used to stage events like weddings and receptions. Adding to the beauty of the park is the manicured lawns, wide sidewalks, palm trees, and public art. The majestic Baobab Tree is not to be missed. In some African cultures, the tree is considered the Tree of Life due to its strength and size. On the day I visited the park was being restored from a recent storm that knocked down a lot of tree limbs. Within hours of the storm the city was already cleaning up and restoring the park.
