A classic, must-go spot in Miami. Great for biking, hanging out in the lawn and getting some sun (when it's not super hot), and grabbing a bite to eat (though expect steep prices). There's public restrooms and a small water park for kiddos. Obviously, the path takes you to the beach which is relaxing and really nice. Can get a little crazy during peak season. read more

South Pointe Park Pier is built on constraint. It's not a beach destination, it's not a fishing resort, it's a working pier where the water isn't about recreation, it's about commerce. Container ships move through this harbor. You stand on the jetty and watch scale happen in real time, cranes and stacks and the whole industrial apparatus that makes Miami function. That's more honest than another beach bar with a sunset filter. The pier is maintained like it matters. The surface holds, the railing is sound, the whole structure feels like someone decided it shouldn't fall apart, and they stuck with that decision. The breakwater gives you rock access, shallow water, tide-dependent depth. Early morning swimmers treat it seriously. The jetty extends far enough that the city shrinks behind you, and you're in dialogue with the open water instead of looking at it from shore. read more

I could go on and on about the natural beauty of this park. It's a must to go at sunrise, and sunset! Not to mention swimming is incredibly! One of the clearest, smoothest bodies of water with views of cruise ships on certain days. One of my favorite spots in South Florida, and I find myself visiting at least monthly. read more

Nice waterfront park at the southern end of Miami beach. There's quite a number of city bike for rent, get it here and bike north to the Miami beach. There aren't many city bike available if you go north to the beach. A relax place to chill and enjoy the sun and water. Walking around and headed to the south pointe park pier. read more

As many times as I've been to Miami, I can't believe I never checked out this park. It's as far south as you can go on South beach, but it is totally worth it. It's beautiful! Whether you sit on a bench or the rocks and watch the big ships and cruises pass by, watch the palm trees blow in the breeze, watch the lizards scurry around, or watch people jogging around or doing yoga, it's a serene time. There are plenty of trees, and there's a lovely path to the pier where you see a bunch of needlefish in the water. I passed by a playground and what I believe is a shop as well. There's even a fancy looking restaurant that overlooks the water that I bet is worth a visit! Depending on where I stayed next time, I may become a regular at this park during my visits. read more

One of my favorite spots in Miami. It features great views of the port and fisher island. There is a long walkway that leads to the beach. This part of the beach is far from all the action but if you're looking for a little quieter area of South Beach, this is it. There is a small cafe and restrooms. I was also lucky to see manatees from the pier. Only negative is parking fills up early. read more

South Pointe Park is a gem in Miami Beach. It's beautiful in the mornings and during the day - but my favorite time to go is during sunset. Many would agree with this! The park is alongside the water, there is green space for hammocks and picnics. There are benches for seating. There are dog parks and a park area of kids, as well as the large pier area. The restaurant Smith and Wollensky is close by if that's your vibe. Definitely a great park to walk or bike around in! read more

Came here for sunrise the other day and wow, I was reminded how lovely Miami was. To start, I thought we'd be the only group here and boy was I wrong -/ the beach/park was packed! From yogis, to families to party animals pulling all nighters you really see a little bit of everything here. It was amazing! Watching the sunrise here was just perfection. So healing, and beautiful. read more

I always go to South Pointe Park whenever I can to relax and feel the ocean breeze after a stressful day at work.

Its a few minutes walk to the beach, and the South Pointe Pier. The park also have a dog park, where dogs come and play. It also have barbeque areas, lounges, picnic area, children's playground, walking trail, a yoga class and a lot more! Check it out! read more

South Pointe Park - Parks Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This 17-acre urban park is the southern most tip of the South Beach, on Miami Beach Island. Whenever we visit Miami, we come here. It reminds me of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, in which they all face east to Atlantic Ocean, which has the pounding waves. (Miami is in the north and Rio's in the south of Atlantic Ocean.) But a slight angle to the South, the body of water becomes calmer. Bikers, walkers, joggers, kids, pets, beach, Smith & Wollensky, meter parking can be tough. read more

South Pointe Park is my favorite park in Miami by far. I usually come here on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to unplug, go for a walk, enjoy the ocean views, spotting the container and/or cruise ships going in and out, have a picnic at either the Hills or around the lighthouse grounds, etc. I just love it, just wished it were closer to me. read more

Gorgeous park with clear white sandy beaches. Minimal sea life and arm seaweed, a vast distance of standable beaches area in the water to soak and enjoy the waves.

This just may be my favorite park in Miami. South Pointe Park is located at the southernmost tip of Miami Beach island, at the end of Washington Avenue. The 17 acres of land for this park was donated to the City of Miami in 1979 by the Federal Government but at first Miami did not see the potential for a park. Instead they built municipal buildings and the Harbor Police, Miami police investigators, and the police horses were all housed here. In 1985 the land was converted into South Pointe Park with an amphitheater, two wooden observation towers, picnic pavilions, fitness courses and a wooden boardwalk over Miami Beach's last natural sand dune. The park was renovated in 1995 and in 2009 the it received a 22 million dollar redesign by the Hargreaves Associates, of New York City. New features added to the park included 20-foot walkways lined with Florida limestone and an ocean-themed children's playground, and splashpad. Unfortunately the splash pad and playground are currently closed. At the southern edge of the park is the large public art piece, Obstinate Lighthouse by German artist Tobias Rehberger. The lighthouse makes a great backdrop for pictures or string a hammock between the palm trees and relax in the tropical breeze. For foodies, Smith & Wollensky is a fine dining steakhouse located in the park. One of my favorite parts of the park is the South Pointe Pier which offers stunning panoramic views of the South Beach shoreline, Port Miami's cruise ships, downtown Miami's skyline, Fisher Island, and giant ships going out to see. I even saw manatees swimming off the pier. South Pointe Park also has direct access to the beach, walking trails, picnic and barbecue areas, benches, and an off-leash bark park. If there is a drawback to the park it is that parking can be a hassle, especially on a weekend. You have to pay to park and half of the lot is reserved for valet parking at Smith & Wollensky. Street parking in this area is scarcer than a unicorn. I came on a Saturday and had to give up. The next time I came it was a weekday and I was able to get a spot without too much of a problem. If you are able to secure parking this is a great park to visit. Another great option is to visit by Citi Bike which you can pick up at different kiosks around South Beach. read more

It's really nice spot to walk or sit down and enjoy the view of the beach and the beautiful ocean and enjoy the water changing colors. It's also suitable for fishing; you can also watch the fish swimming in the water; very beautiful scenery in my opinion. They have seats and gazebo to rest under the shade. read more

Parking in the area was a challenge on a sunny Sunday afternoon. There is a lot for the park as well as street parking. It is a great park to walk or have a picnic or barbecue. There is also a cafe. There is a playground with a splash pad. If you bring your dog, there is a bark park where they can run off leash.

Absolutely one of the best spots in all of Miami Beach! South Pointe Park is beautifully maintained with incredible ocean views, wide walking paths, and a relaxed atmosphere. You can watch cruise ships sail by, enjoy the breeze from the pier, or just sit on the grass and people-watch. Great for a morning jog, picnic, or sunset stroll. The playground and splash pad are perfect for kids, and there's plenty of space for everyone. Every visit feels peaceful and scenic -- a true Miami gem! read more

South Pointe Park is my happy place in Miami. There's a vibe like no other. The South Pointe Pier is iconic. I always take a walk there when I'm in the area. Back in the day, people used to jump off it/the rocks. I don't think it's allowed anymore but you do see lots of people taking pics on the rocks. The pier is also a popular fishing spot! Definitely a must-do when you're in the area read more

The park is plenty nice but the parking and the people have made this a hard pass for us. We really like the design of the park, the views are stunning and the splash pad/ park area are nice. The parking though has become impossible and the beach itself is insufferable. Too many a$$hole that only care about themselves. I don't want to listen to your music on blast on your oversized speaker I will go to a more chill spot for sure read more

Parking can be a bit tricky, so if you are coming for the whole day, plan in advance and reserve a parking spot online. read more

Loved visiting this park when in Miami. The pier was my favorite!!! You walk off the green area down to the park. there is a long pier and some bike rentals along the way if you are interested. The pier itself is pretty long with tall sides but offers amazing views! We saw big schools of jellyfish over the side and we loved looking out onto the beach area at the beautiful crystal clear water. We also enjoyed that there was a semi-covered area here with a bench where we could sit and take a break for a few minutes in the shade. This is a must visit place if you are at the beach here. read more

This is a beautiful, large pier that connects to South Beach. There's nice big parking lots nearby, a nice splashpad and playground for kids, and a beautiful wide sidewalk alongside the water leading up the pier. The pier itself overlooks Miami Beach and a beautiful row of rocks. It's a great place to bike or walk, lots of places to sit, and a beautiful view all around. After you check out the beach you can go straight to the beach. Great place. read more

A park and a pier in the same place! Beautiful first impressions! Clean, airy, relaxing with ocean views, fountains, magnificent high rise architecture, lots of shade for grass lounging, and chubby pier feral cats! This is a desirable location with waterfront living. It's inviting for walking, biking, skateboarding and resting. From the pier itself, there are observable panoramic sights of the island, cityscape, marina, ocean freight passing, and South Beach. Amazingly, on my first visit, within about a half an hour span, the sky turned from bright and sunny to dark and stormy. The warm wind also picked up, strong enough to turn my hair into a face-shield. Long hair struggles aside, the pier is creatively designed with straight and jagged lines; mirroring the ocean waves and sandy South Beach. If the weather weren't bipolar that day, I could've spent more time staring out and around. read more

One of my favorite beaches! This is the perfect beach spot in all of Miami Beach besides the parking. There's a parking lot but it's always busy so you may have to go around it a few times before scoring a parking spot. Other than that, the views are amazing, the water is crystal clear and the breeze is fantastic. read more

We visited this park twice: once during the day to eat lunch and once for sunset. It's a nice park to visit during the day. There are good views and it's not crowded at all. Don't come for sunset. Parking is impossible to find. My husband ended up dropping me off because there is no parking because of crowds. It was a zoo. I didn't think the sunset view was that great and certainly not worth the being in the crowds. Enjoy the park during the day, skip it for sunset. read more

BEST place to come watch the sunrise and you're right next to Pura Vida & Nikki Beach Cafe. O

Oh how I missed this place! It's just perfect and every way between the views the wildlife and the playground it's really just heaven on earth. My children absolutely love the playground. I love running on the path there. Very fun to watch the boats coming out as well. My children loved doing that. I really miss this place! It's definitely safe during the day and early evening. read more

Yes, I like to take long walks on the beach...to Southern Pointe Park Pier! This is a good destination to hit up in South Beach. Some great views of incoming yatchs, rocks, and for you to take some shots! (Double meaning intended. :P) You can fish at the end of the pier as well if that's your thing too, but you have to bring your own equipment. Oh! And sunrises/sunsets here are beautiful too! There are also some fantastic eats a short walk away! The Lobster Shack or Joe's Stone Crab to name a few!! read more

Really nice area to walk - spacious and clean. Depending upon the day and time - it can get busy. Sundays you can come down to check out the drum circle - many people gathering, listening to drums and music, dancing, doing yoga. There's a park nearby with a splash pad. There's a small spot there to buy some goodies (snacks, ice cream, etc.) At the end there's a nice pier that then connects you to Miami Beach. There are many spots to sit on the grass - so pack a picnic and enjoy the view. There's a parking lot nearby but it's often busy as it does share the same lot as the restaurant nearby there. Best bet is to find meter parking and walk. read more

We loved visiting here. The little makeshift lifeguard house was cool. The walk along the waters, we were able to see a huge lizard and some coconuts that fell from the tree. Parking is challenge though. We came again later during the weekdays and no parking. Just a bunch of spaces marked off for valet parking apparently. Valet parking should be banned to be honest. read more

What a beautiful place to be reminded the reasons why you love Miami. South Pointe Park is awesome. Looking for a nice place to go for a waterfront jog? Want to go on a chisme-fueled walk? Perhaps you're looking to read, do a bit of Yoga and just chill while taking in the views Miami has to offer. This is the spot for all those things and more. Sometimes Miami Beach can be chaotic, but it seems here at South Pointe there's enough space for everyone to do their own thing and enjoy the outdoors - whatever that looks like for them. There is a parking lot, but between the hustle and bustle of beach life and the Smith and Wollensky's valet it gets kind of hectic. I suggest coming early, or just knowing that you'll likely have to valet or walk a bit to find a spot. You can also align your walk or visit with the S&W Happy hour, and end your day with a cocktail. It doesn't get more Miami than these views. read more
