South Pointe Park is a pleasant green space at the southern tip of Miami Beach. It offers scenic panoramic views of the South Beach shoreline, Port Miami’s cruise ships, the Downtown Miami skyline and Fisher Island. The park has direct access to the beach as well as offering walking trails, picnic and barbecue areas, benches, a cafe, an off-leash dog park, its own 450 ft long pier and a lighthouse. In summary I found it to be an okay place for a relaxing walk in Miami, however I actually preferred walking down Ocean Drive as there was more interesting things to look at and going on.

This park has a long stretch along the water that leads out to a pier, where you can bike or take a stroll. There were many families out at sunset, some setting up small picnics. Everyone seemed aware of distancing, so it was a safe outdoor area to enjoy the final hour of daylight. There's also plenty of street parking nearby at a reasonable price.

Probably one of the prettiest spots in South Beach. It's a really nice walk through the park and along the pier. Highly recommend grabbing some take out and having a little picnic in the park too (we loved the nearby healthy options from Pura Vida cafe and Joe's Stone Crab also does takeout if you want to feast while sitting by the ocean!)

We live nearby and it’s a great place to safely stroll with appropriate social distancing. Dog walkers, young families, yoga enthusiasts, bicyclists and more enjoying the views and open space. Wander down the pier or around to the beach. Sunsets are spectacular over the Miami skyline and especially on a Sunday afternoon/early evening the vibe is perfect South Beach.

I was excited to see sunrises in Miami in the mornings and the beach did not disappoint. I did not do any research regarding South Pointe Park, so I was very pleasantly surprised when I realized we could also see sunsets in Miami. I’ve seen many many sunsets, but not very many over a city skyline. Memorable and beautiful.

a triangular walk south of South Beach showcases the island, the city and the ocean and harbor. A lot of native birds can be seen, the vegetation is interesting, the tall city buildings off to your right and later a pier walk that jets out into the ocean. Feral cats relax here, some restaurants and ends up with the rather large marina. A nice stroll and it's free.

A great place to stroll, exercise, bike ride or take a dog walk. Beautiful and free. Parking is available but limited. Direct beach access and a great fishing Pier overlooking the south beach coastline draw crowds on the weekends. Impressive Cruise ships and container ships passing just a few feet away. Plenty of open green space areas, a water park for children, a snack bar and a tall paved mound/hill offering breathtaking views. Smith & Wollensky restaurant is also here and offers 5 star food and service.

This park is perfect for families visiting Miami. The Pier is long, and it was cool to be able to walk out to the end. Excellent view of the port and the boats passing by. Sometimes a cruise ship would pass by and everybody on the beach would wave and cheer at the people on the ship who were also waving and cheering. The beach was very clean and when we went in the late afternoon it was not too crowded. There are walking trails near the pier and the beach if you want to walk around or ride a bike. There was also a playground and splash pad for the kids. The bathrooms were alright and there was a small shop selling snacks and drinks. I would visit this beach again next time I am in Miami.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, dog walkers -- they're all here. Singles, couples, families. Very cosmopolitan. I heard foreign languages, only three of which I recognized (Spanish, German, French). I spend two hours here, walking around, enjoying the view and people watching. It was a lovely day. Temperature in the low 70s at noon. Beautiful views. Social distancing easy to maintain. Bathrooms available.

Beautiful park. Just kinda stumbled upon it without knowing. We drove around to see what this park was and ended up staying over an hour to walk along the bay and ocean. So beautiful. Probably one of the best spots in Miami.

Hi! Do I need to buy a license to fish off South Pointe Pier? Thanks.

Hi David,
I don't fish, sorry!. It's said that to fish at public piers one doesn't need a license, but I don't know what the rules are in Miami. Good Luck!
Can I take a little grill to the beach ?

I did not see much parking, but it was free. We did not see any dolphins as this is a shipping lane.

Can you smoke cigarettes there? Not on the beach, but by the grass/bench where you see the cruises passing by? What about hookah?
