If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit Crandon Park Beach. It's such a contrast from Miami Beach and other beaches that are always busy and noisy. You actually can rest here. We went there on a weekday and could walk for long minutes before we even crossed someone. Then we sat, ate and fell asleep for... More

This is one of my favorite beaches to refer families to. The beaches are nice and wide, there is plenty of parking, too.

Well worth going to see what's over there.... More

The first night in Miami we went down to Miami Beach. Whew! What a populated nightmare. Sure, it may be the place to be with fancy movie stars and celebrities, etc, but what a mess to navigate and try and see things. The second day we went out on the Keys. It is beautiful, but there are limited places to... More

Broad beaches and umbrellas reminded me of beaches in Spain. Lovely and quiet midweek. Do not miss the birds on the old Zoo location. Great Peacocks! More

While Crandon doesn't have beach butlers like Miami Beach, it has instead more running room for kids, plenty of space to play ball games (you can't play catch with a baseball on Miami Beach), good facilities and reasonable prices for parking and rentals. Local families were all over the beach this Sunday, a good sign! More

Visited the beach around 5 pm one week night and the sand was filthy. They really need to clean up this place. More
