South Pointe Park, Miami Beach

South Pointe Park has been recently renovated and it is located next to the beach at the southernmost point of South Beach, in Miami. 


Kids area


This is an architectural wonder where natural space, light, functionality and incredible environment has been integrated harmonically. The restoration includes a natural sand dune next to a pathway, and an ocean-themed children's playground with sand dollar spinners and motion-activated water sprays.

The walkway links to the beach walk, and includes amenities like barbeques, picnic pavilions, restaurant, kids area, outdoor showers, scenic observation deck, and a dog park. The park has two entrances: one at Washington Avenue and a pedestrian entrance on Ocean Drive.

Bicycles and skateboards are allowed on paved walkways only, excluding the elevated portion of serpentine walkway. Fishing is prohibited in the park. There are doggie waste stations, with doggie bags and trashcans that have been strategically placed throughout the park. Even leashed dogs are welcome at the park.

The playground or adjacent areas with tables are not for rent, neither the Pavilion rooftop, however, the west lawn/field area can be rented by schools or youth organizations on a space available basis and only within the approved times.

Metered parking is available in the parking lot, but if you are not a resident; it might cost you around $20 for the day. The park closes at 10pm daily, but the walkway will remain open until 2am and neon light towers that shine on the walkway will light up the promenade.
