Area Beaches


There are quite a few beautiful beachfronts in South Florida where you can go to relax and unwind.  Being that this website is primarily focused on Miami Beach, we'll be concentrating on the picturesque beaches within its city limits.  But that's easy to do, since all six sections of the Miami Beach coastline are ideal for 
taking in the sun, surf and sand.

We hope you'll agree that this scenic natural resource is one of the greatest attributes
of Miami Beach and South Beach.  The Travel Channel concurs, and voted Miami Beach as one of the Top 10 beaches in America.

Not only are the beaches of Miami Beach pleasing to the eye, they are also one of the safest around.  For your safety and protection, the State of Florida has implemented a Beach Warning Flag System, that is in use at beaches throughout the Sunshine State.  The colored flag displayed at the lifeguard stand will let you know what the current surf condition is at that particular beach.  Please pay close attention to the color of the flag, as it could possibly save your life and those around you.

Florida Beach Warning Flags

If you need their assistance while at the beach, the Miami Beach Patrol and Ocean Rescue team is at your service.  There are more than 25 lifeguard stands along Miami Beach's coastline.  If for some reason you are unable to get in touch with a member of the Beach Patrol, dial the number below or 9-1-1 in an emergency.

Another detail to keep in mind when visiting one of the area's beaches listed is their parking situation.  Most beaches in Miami Beach have a parking fee, so be prepared to pay to park wherever you decide to go.  

Most of the six beaches listed have the basic necessities needed for a safe and comfortable time: lifeguards, restrooms and snack or picnic facilities.  Check each location below to see what specific amenities they offer.

Clicking on each photo will link you to a map detailing the exact location of that beach. Beach locations go from North Miami Beach to South Beach from the top of the page to the bottom.  Please note that all the beaches listed are handicapped accessible and are usually open sunrise to sunset.

Is today going to be a beach day?  How about tomorrow or the weekend?  Find out what the weather will be like for the days ahead by viewing the Miami Beach 7-Day Forecast on our Local News Page.

Whether it's a sunny, partly sunny or somewhat cloudy day, don't forget to put on a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from the pleasant but damaging and intense rays of the Florida sun.
