I love this place. Ive camped here for 3 days a couple years ago and it was the best! Camping almost on the shoreline it was amazing. The sand underneath my tent made such a comfortable place to sleep, the earth was cradling my back. I woke up feeling better than I had in years. Such a beautiful place. You really need to get over here and enjoy the earth. Id suggest bringing a friend or multiple friends.

The beach is perfectly quiet. The walking trails are fresh break from the city. If you have a bike that goes off road, youll love this place just as much. Make sure you bring a helmet.

Very nice area especially for kids. The barbecue sauce are perfectly located close to water. Theres only one shower area. And the water isnt the clearest. Theres a lot of seaweed but the water is shallow.

The beach is nice. There are vendors conveniently placed for food, chairs, umbrellas, etc. The problem was the area where I was smelled like feces. Every time the wind shifted it brought the smell. Overall a nice experience though and my child had a blast!

Nice free Beach with amazing views of the ocean. Even in the afternoon, we were able to see fish soon around us and even saw a sea cucumber on through the water. Only negative thing was a person smoking cigars, which carried over thru the air, and some people not distancing enough, and small amounts of old litter on the sand. There were no changing rooms near us either but maybe thats the way it is... Well plan better next time.

Seems like a nice little park although the facilities looked older from the exterior. I went during a weekday and just walked around for 15 minutes. It was during the pandemic so I didnt have to pay to get in.

SPECTACULAR place to watch the sunrise. We arrived about 15 minutes before sunrise and spend about an hour and half at this delightful beach. Other than several bicyclists, we were the only inhabitants on the beach. There were several paddle boarders, and canoes on the water. As the sun started peaking over the horizon we were rewarded with a spectacular vision of amazing colors of nature. The pictures attached barely do justice to the visions of nature. An Incredible place to watch a sunrise.

The cove is pristine and quiet. I went to search for sea glass. It was almost deserted because there’s no swimming allowed. I enjoyed the quiet and beauty,

Awful experience. Full of mosquitoes. And a very very very bad light show.Please, dont ever go there!.

This seems like a pretty popular hike for humans and doggies alike! Helpful tip before you go: dont just punch in the location on GoogleMaps or Waze, or it will directly take you to the top of the hill. Use the address listed on Yelp.

Great alternative to the other beaches in Key Biscayne. Very nice area full of grills, tables, etc. The view on a nice day is spectacular. Easy to park, $8 per car to get in. The only bad thing was the restroom super dirty and it was only 12pm when we arrived... please keep them cleaner!

Rented a kayak from VKOC, 3801 Rickenbacker Causeway and had a fabulous time! The equipment was perfect and the entry into and out of the water was no problem with the onsite staff help. Will go again soon

The beach is on the way to the beautiful Key Biscayne. Beach with a natural environment, suitable for relaxing and excellent for water sports. Its waters are very hot and full of seaweed. Beautiful view over Miami (downtown). Note that there is a toll on the way ($ 3).

This is a very beautiful piece of land. They have events at this location. But there is also access on any regular day. There are places to rent kayaks and long boards, or mountain bikes. There is a small parking lot, and lots of great beaches and paths to walk along. There are also showers, playgrounds and bathrooms on site.

Beautiful Park. I was there for the finish line of our race and it was definitely a wonderful way to end the day! Found a cool wooden sculpture. The beach was a sight to see. The water was clear! We had an amazing time. Even met a small kitten! I will definitely be returning here on a day with no race!

Review №38

Nice beach spot that doesnt get overcrowded like many other areas in Miami. Plenty of parking and nice bike/ walking trails. Theres also quite a few sheltered areas for large groups. You can also rent bikes, chairs and umbrellas. And if you get hungry there is a restaurant. My only thing is I think the bathrooms could be maintained a little better.

A magnificent jewel for Miami. How this park came about is a testament to all, especially the black community for their perseverance in overcoming racial divides.

Review №43

The area is well maintained and patrolled by law enforcement personnel. The beach area is clean, but the seaweed tended to be overtaking the water, which by the way was very warm. The beach was not crowded, must likely because of COVID-19.

Beautiful piece of beach with splendid view on Miami downtown. Very narrow part of sand limited by palm trees and (free!) parking. After some time spent there, we had delicious lunch in Rusted Pelican. Highly recommended both places

Review №45

Super fun, but that 5pm closing time is serious, yall. We rolled in at 5:30, and the slide was all locked up at the top, bottom and middle. Since we came all that way, we just started at the middle and rode to the bottom gate. Less fun than otherwise, but thats sort of our fault, right?

Nice park with quieter beaches in the north part. And a good place for paddle boarding. Unfortunately as in many other places people are pigs and you should watch out for pieces of broken glass in the sand. Also there is garbage bins everywhere so use it and do not dump your plastics all over the place ..

This place is amazing, very clean, nice beach to enjoy the time. The parking fee to access this park start from 8$ for car. You can rent some installation here and bring events organizer for company picnic or with the family. Or if you want just go around the beach to have an enjoyable time. They have bathroom here, playground for kids and some mechanical horses carousels. I really recommend this great place. Was a wonderful day.

5 holy stars especially in the morning for a great bike ride and views. Not so great when folks wake up and start arriving and driving on the roads. Still the best views of Miami with lots of parking. The beaches are freindly, shallow and good for kids and folks training.

Its very beautiful. I find it better than south miami beach. Less crowded. Very calm and peaceful. Definitely a must visit to enjoy the beach with a historic site. Water is clean, beach is clean with very low or no tides. Lots of tables and picnic spots available. You can see beautiful high rise and miami shoreline. There is a nominal charge per vehicle and usually 2$ cheaper on weekdays.

I took my niece to the kayaks to see the manatees, we took public transport so we walk the mile and a half under the sun to get there from the entrance, on the way back we were very tired but started walking, the park ranger pass in his pickup and offered to give us a ride to the door, we told him we were taking the bus, he took us to the bus station!!! We had a unforgettable time we will never forget. Thank you park ranger you are the BEST!!!

Visited here for the Miami international boat show last year. Area feels like it’s getting a tad old now. Although with that said it is still. Very clean and very popular area. Beaches were nice and clean. Lots of attractions in the area to suit all sorts of people. We got lucky with the weather at the time of year we went. Overall was a great experience visiting and would be more than happy to return to the area in the future. Highly recommended if you wish to see more areas of Miami Florida United States of America’s!

Despite many not liking this place for ULTRA - I thought it was awesome!!! Would love to come back next year. The amount of space was ridiculous - Very nice atmosphere with trails in the middle of what felt were jungles. Liked it.
