    We had a the best time lounging under palm trees in the breeze, riding bikes through here, people watching, visiting the 100 years of Art Deco World Celebration, and best all was the iguana action!!

    This is a 74 acre park in South Beach running 10 blocks from 5th Street to 14th Place. On one side is iconic Ocean Drive and on the other, the Atlantic Ocean. The park is a favorite of runners, walkers, and cyclists who enjoy the paved exercise path. Park amenities include three restrooms, at 6, 10 and 14 streets. There are eighteen sand volley ball courts and two playgrounds, one for ages two to five, and a larger one for ages up to twelve. At 10th Street the park is also the home of The Miami Design Preservation League's Welcome Center. Two outdoor gym areas are located at Muscle Beach South Beach at 9th Street. Two nature inspired installations: My Equilibria's Leopard Tree and My Beast serve the dual purpose of art and exercise equipment with thirty exercise components, You can rent chaise chairs and umbrellas to sit on the beach if you want to relax or bikes and skate if you want to exercise. You can also find bootcamps and exercise classes. Across the street from the park are numerous restaurants. Lummus Park hosts many events throughout the year. These include weekend artisan markets, Art Basel Miami Beach satellite fairs, Miami Design Preservation League's Art Deco Weekend, the Hyundai Air & Sea Show, and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Grand Tasting Village. A new improvement to the park is one hundred and fourteen new dimmable LED lighting, which improves visibility at night while reducing the amount of light visible from the beach which protects the sea turtles. When you think of South Beach you can't help but think of Lummus Park. It is the place to see and be seen by sunbathers, supermodels, and celebrities. It has been used for the backdrop of many television programs and film scenes. There is is nothing better than just sitting on a bench as you people watch in the beautiful Florida sunshine.

    Beautiful, with absolutely picturesque lifeguard towers.. nice and quiet and many restaurants nearby. Clean and a great place to relax.

    Great place. You could walk your dog, watch some green parakeets here, and there's also a gym. Overall, it's a great place to visit, located right near the Miami Beach and Ocean Drive.

    To the best of my tourist understanding, this is the beach you want to stick with if you want to stay near all the action. It's right across from the craziness and party vibes of Ocean Drive, separated only by a crosswalk, essentially. We were at the beach by Ocean & 10th both days we went, and a couple things surprised me. 1.) I did not see an overwhelming amount of disgustingly beautiful people. I'll admit I was really intimidated to be in a swimsuit on South Beach, but I found that there really weren't those swarms of flawless, oiled-up tan people in perfect shape judging me. It could be because we were there around the fourth of July and all the locals were vacationing somewhere else? Or maybe the time of day we went, which was between 3-5pm. Either way, it was a pleasant surprise, as my preconceived notions about South Beach did initially have me uncomfortable. Another thing that surprised me is that the water really wasn't that clear? Again, could have been the time of day, or the weather, but all I know is that one of my friends was down by Nikki Beach for her bachelorette and judging by her pics, the water over there was basically totally clear. Weird. Could've always been a filter... But all in all, this was an acceptable beach - clean and not too crowded when we were there. Note: the Uber drivers in this area are total d*cks if you try to get into their car looking even slightly wet. Make sure you cover up your swimsuit before even trying to call one.

    We went to this park for the SOBE seafood festival. Every single tent had great food vendors with delicious treats for all of us. We had amazing and fresh seafood from different great restaurants. The drinks were excellent too, my two favorites were Jack Daniel's and the chardonnay wine from WS vineyards. They also had fun activities for kids and nice live music. Thank you!!

    So glad I attended this event!! This was all I thought it would be and more!! The weather was perfect Miami weather... blue skies, hot sun with a slight breeze... very slight!! This event is one not to miss! The venue, the people, the vendors and we can't forget the service and security... kudos to all!! They have pulled off a magnificent event !!! The food was extremely fresh and abundant. The drinks were flowing from juice to lunch liquor. There were orderly lines that moved quickly and the patrons were all funny and friendly!! There were a lot of families playing with strategically placed games. Beach balls were tossed around while people ate, drank and socialized. It was such a blessed feeling to have experience such true eclectic atmosphere. If you are available next year don't miss this event!

    Lummus Park is one of the areas that make the hassle of going to South Beach, what with its horrid parking situation worth the trip. It has a beautiful beach, perfect ocean waters, located in the most "happening" of areas, great for people watching and loaded with visitors from all over the world. It's truly an international point of destination. Though it has a reputation of being for the "young and beautiful"....nothing wrong with a little eye candy to feed on.....it's far from being their exclusive domain. The really great thing about Lummus besides the beach and park itself is its close proximity to all of the restaurants and thrills located just across Ocean Drive. Everything is within easy walking with an availability shops, bars or anything you might need buy or want to do.

    Great park / beach located in the heart of Miami Beach. Park has a long stretch of grass, kid playground, walking paths, etc. It's a must park or beach to check out if visiting Miami Beach.

    Miami Beach..I'm almost tempted to take away at least one star because your parking situation, mandatory tips at restaurants and overzealous traffic enforcement.. But I just can't. Where else can you go lay out in the sun in the middle of February? Or meet and chat up with a girl who says she's the girlfriend of a world renowned DJ but she'll still rub suntan oil on you? Where else is the sand pure and white, and decent surf? Or watch a real life Miami Vice episode in the distance (real US Coast Guard chasing a real life smuggler)? Or people watch..make out..heck even read a book? Miami Beach, I love ya!

    Beach! Babes! I'll stop there because there is little more that needs to be said. Parking is a pain. If you're lucky, you can find a metered spot and charge it up by credit card. You're not going to find a free space. You just aren't. I did notice that at least some of the beach area is "tops optional", so if you have little ones who don't need to see boobies then you may want to rethink your visit.

    Gorgeous weather all year around

    Since it is never ending Red Tide at the poluted Gulf on West Coast of FL, I was forced to get my "Sea Therapy" on East Coast. The weather was gorgeous and over all it was a good trip. The place has litteraly everything for the convenience. The parking fee was high, however coming from Los Angeles it was not really big deal at all. It was available that all it mattered!! It was raining when I arrived, but it gave me a chance to do a little shoping in South Beach. Right after the rain the water in Atlantic was hot, so nice to swim in. It was clear so I could see gorgeous corals and shells below. It is littery shea shell heaven for a collector. I picked a few while I was drying. The beach was clean. I am not sure how they are managing to it with such heavy traffic, but jt was. The beach was not too empty not toouch crowd. The music was complementing the sound of the waves. Everything was so perfect, that I did not wamted to leave. It is a must stop when I go to the other coast to see my friends. Be back soon!

    Iconic Miami Beach public park- great for running, racing and people watching. Just off Ocean Drive with plenty of parking on the streets and nearby garages. Incredible people watching- and a must for those wanting to experience the real South Beach Ocean Drive scene.

The atmosphere was so lively, and even though it was super hot, I loved every minute of it. Since the FIFA World Cup was coming up, there were decorations and displays around the area that added to the excitement. It made the whole beach feel even more energetic. There's so much to do besides just relaxing on the sand. You can walk the beachfront trails, check out the outdoor workout areas, visit the nearby restaurants and shops, or simply enjoy the beautiful scenery. The beach itself was amazing. The sand was soft, the water was warm, and it was the perfect place to spend the day. Thankfully, our hotel included complimentary beach chairs, which made the experience even better. If your hotel doesn't provide them, you can always bring your own chairs or just relax on a towel or blankets. I love the Miami vibe, and South Beach is one of my favorite places to visit. It's always a fun, energetic destination, and I can't wait to come back.

The beach is wide, clean, and perfect for walking, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the ocean view. When you head toward the beach through Lummus Park, the stretch of green really welcomes you. You do have to walk quite a bit to reach the sand--it's surprisingly far from Ocean Drive. I don't think I've ever seen such a large distance between a main road and the beach before, but honestly, that's part of its charm. Palm trees, colorful lifeguard towers, and the Art Deco skyline create the classic Miami postcard scene. Whether you visit for sunrise or sunset, the vibe here is always energetic. Parking: Take my words: Park at 'Miami Beach Parking Garage [7th St]', its your best bet

    I have spent years listening to people tell me how terrible Miami is…read more.. I've heard it all, especially about Miami Beach. The crime, the chaos, the tourists, the traffic, the partying, the old cocaine reputation from the 1980s, and all the other things people seem to love bringing up whenever I tell them how much I love Miami. I know what Miami is. I've been coming here since I was 22 years old, so this isn't some recent love affair I developed because Miami became fashionable. I got the bug very early, and somehow it never left my soul, my mind or my heart. Miami Beach has reinvented itself over and over again. It went from a resort playground in the early 20th century, through the glamorous Art Deco era, the postwar years, the decline and drug-era reputation, and then the extraordinary preservation movement that saved much of South Beach from being demolished. The Art Deco Historic District became the first urban 20th-century historic district on the National Register in 1979, and today Miami Beach has more than 800 historic Art Deco buildings. Even now, the city continues to build its identity around that architecture while mixing it with restaurants, nightlife, art, music, fashion, luxury hotels and international tourism. And that's what people who constantly criticize Miami seem to miss when they talk about it like it's nothing but chaos. Yes, Miami Beach is still a party town. It is still loud, crowded, international, sometimes completely ridiculous and full of people doing very bad things... There is also an incredible amount of history, architecture, culture, music, food, design and sheer personality packed into this little island. Millions of people still come here every year, and tourism remains one of the major economic engines of the area. In 2025 alone, tourism generated an estimated $2.2 billion in local and state tax revenue. I've watched Miami Beach change for decades, and I still love coming here. Maybe that's why I don't get particularly interested when somebody starts telling me all the reasons I shouldn't like it. Its honestly very offputting.. I have my own relationship with this place. I've stayed here, played here, dined here.. attended the parties ... large and small listened to the music, met the people, celebrated birthdays, had incredible nights and made memories that aren't going anywhere. I don't need Miami Beach to be perfect for me to love it. I actually like that it has a personality. I like that it can be elegant one minute and completely chaotic the next. I like the energy, the people, the ridiculousness of it, the history, the ocean, the architecture and the fact that something is always happening. People can have their opinions about Miami. I'll keep coming back. And if I'm going to choose between the chaos and millions of people in Miami or the chaos and millions of people in Los Angeles, I'll take Miami every single time.

    What's not to like? That being said,If you visit from anywhere north of Fort Lauderdale,you are…read moregoing to experience culture shock. Just roll with it. My earliest reference to Miami Beach was as a kid watching the Jakie Gleason show. It was announced every show that ,it was broadcast from beautiful Miami Beach. That was enough to " book mark" it in my mind. Then in 1977 on my way back from a scuba trip in the Keys,I drove up Collins Ave from South Beach all the way up to Bal Harbor. It was a shocking sight most of the way. Lined with high rises, obsolete hotels and bus stop benches full of generations of elderly that had retired and been ravaged by the then raging inflation. Yes boys and girls,if you think inflation is bad now it's nothing compared to the late 70s and early 80s . As those generations left us and Miami in general and Miami Beach in particular reached economic obsolescence,the real estate deveopers moved in and the gentrification and renewal began. What a job they've done. Now, development is always controversial for100s of reasons not the least of which is environmental concerns. As I've returned to the Miami area over the years it amazes me how dense it's become. The first time I returned to the South Beach area was 1998. The restoration of the old art deco hotel movement was in high gear, I felt like a million bucks. The boutique hotel I stayed in was fantastic, with a view from the second floor window ( that opened) onto the busy avenue below and beach beyond. The development continued and it wasn't until almost 15 years later that I returned. Overall development was now completed,Miami Beach was again a desirable destination and I was back! My intentions are to return at least one more time. It's what's great about our country. We are constantly renewing,sharing cultures and looking forward to the future. I highly recommend you... Go!
