This park is a little drive off U.S. Hwy 1, Biscayne Blvd, Miami but sure is worth the drive! Beautiful beaches and of course the Lighthouse. There is some wildlife. Get there early to get a glorious view of Miami and the surrounding landscape. There's a small cafe for dining. Check it all out!!

Awesome!! Best beaches in a regional park. Showers and restrooms. Parking. There's also a Café and a pretty good restaurant. And climbing the 110 stairs up to the top of the lighthouse: Priceless!

We weren't able to walk all the paths but for the little we were able to see and do, it is well worth a 2 dollar per pedestrian entry. Beaches here are some of the best in this area! The old light house is well taken care of and the light house cafe was small but friendly with some basic lunch fare such as sandwiches and salads. The black bean soup is my recommendation.

Beautiful park, close to Miami. You can enjoy walking or cycling here. Bicycles can be rented in the park. The beaches are beautiful. On the beach you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas for a relatively low price. It is cheaper here than on the other beaches near Miami. The beach is flanked by an iconic lighthouse.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It is ok but you need to be really careful. Somewhere near the light house the current is very strong and it is pulling you away from the shore. I would recommend just staying near the shore and dont go beyond where you can stand stably on your feet just in case when current suddenly becomes faster than your maximum swim speed.

Beach was open and just gorgeous yesterday! Not crowded where we were, other beach goers in small family groups 2-4 people max, and about 30 ft distance between groups. If you go to the park website, there is a section in red print at the top that provides notice of any closures. So if you're planning to visit on Fri, I would check the website Thurs night and again Fri morning to make sure it's open before you head out. Have a wonderful visit - this is a gorgeous gem of a beach, and we're SO lucky to have it open for us during this stressful time. Be safe! 😷
