- Paul OCounty Monaghan, Ireland6,286 contributionsWonderful ParkThis is a great park to visit. Fantastic views out to sea and up along the beach. Nice places to sit and relax and also restaurants to enjoy. One of my favourite parts of South BeachVisited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 March 2024
- IngridLummySao Paulo, SP11,249 contributionsVery nice little place to enjoy the viewWhat a cool pier to go to. A very cool view of Miami Beach, and at the same time pleasant to enjoy the view. There are some shady benches, on the way there there is a very beautiful space with lots of trees and grass. There is no charge to access the pier, and it was busy, but not crowded. I highly recommend it!Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 1 April 2024
- Uri R4 contributionsA Serene Escapefantastic spot for relaxation and recreation. The park boasts stunning views of the ocean and the city skyline, with well-maintained walking paths and plenty of green space. Visitors can enjoy the pier, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The sunset views are spectacular, making it an ideal place for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful evening out. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists!Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 11 July 2024
- Irene Eng2,796 contributionsSerene on weekdaysThis 17-acre urban park is the southern most tip of the South Beach, on Miami Beach Island. Whenever we visit Miami, we come here. It reminds me of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, in which they all face east to Atlantic Ocean, which has the pounding waves. (Miami is in the north and Rio's in the south of Atlantic Ocean.) But a slight angle to the South, the body of water becomes calmer. Bikers, walkers, joggers, kids, pets, beach, Smith & Wollensky, meter parking can be tough.Visited January 2025Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 February 2025

Excellent place to rest, enjoy the beach, play sports (track before the beach for walking, running, cycling, etc., with points with gym equipment, courts, playground for children, public bathroom, shower points and water to drink) , place on the beach sand with a harder surface for running, very clean beach, excellent pier for fishing (it even has spouts for cleaning fish and other things). At night enjoy the bars and restaurants. Tip, if you want to save on food, Walgreens and CVC (pharmacies) and Publix Super Market have ready-made meals ranging from 3 to 7 dollars, which you can heat in the hotel's microwave. A blue trolley (bus) passes by every Solthbeach, which is free.

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.

This is a nice place to visit while in Miami. The lighthouse is very pretty, it looks like something you would find in an art museum. South Pointe Park Pier is very rocky, but it is worth a visit as the views are nice. There is a lovely boardwalk to walk on. There is a play area for children, and a little shops selling snack with toilets nearby. Also lots of areas to exercise in groups. There was plenty of seating areas.

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.

We spent a day in South Beach after a cruise and decided to walk to South Point Pier upon the recommendation of a local.
The views are beautiful. You can see up the coast as well as Biscayne Bay and Miami. It was a Sunday and not very crowded. Some people fishing off the pier.
The park does have vendors and restrooms.

Hi! Do I need to buy a license to fish off South Pointe Pier? Thanks.
Written 14 September 2022
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!
