Beaches
Miami's sparkling miles of sand are some of the best in the world. Miami Beach, Hollywood Beach, Haulover Park in North Miami Beach and Crandon Park on Key Biscayne offer wide sandy beaches perfect for sunbathing and picnicking. While the beaches on South Beach attract lots of younger party-going types, Hollywood and Crandon Park beaches are ideal for families. Haulover Park Beach has a clothing optional area for the truly daring (and slow to sunburn!). Most of our beautiful beaches are open sunrise to sunset.
