Ocean breeze at the tip of South Beach—South Pointe Park is a scenic leashed walk with jetty views, grass, and that “vacation with my dog” feeling (minus the sand-in-everything chaos of a full beach day).
Rules can change—check Miami Beach Parks before you go.
What to know
-
Leash: Dogs typically must be leashed in the park; Miami Beach has specific dog-friendly beach/park rules that shift—read current signs.
-
Hours: Follow posted park hours.
-
Parking: South of Fifth garages and meters—expensive and busy; consider walking from your stay.
-
Heat: Midday asphalt and sand paths get brutal—hydrate constantly.
Tips
-
Go early for cooler temps and fewer crowds.
-
Combine with a short neighborhood walk to a designated dog run if you need off-leash time.
-
Rinse salty paws; check for hot-surface burns in summer.
