Stroll Along the Beachwalk in Miami Beach

Running the length of Miami Beach – from the tip of South Pointe Park in South Beach to North Beach Oceanside Park – the Beachwalk is a seven-mile oceanfront pedestrian promenade that’s ripe for exploration.

A wide, on-grade pathway made of unified pavers, the Beachwalk is ADA-accessible and designed with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy, from joggers to cyclists, skaters, strollers and those in wheelchairs. Along the way, you’ll find Citi Bike stands for bike rentals, public restrooms, water fountains and ample parking.

Beyond Miami Beach, the Beachwalk connects to pathways that continue north through Surfside and Bal Harbour, where there’s more to explore. It’s also a part of the Atlantic Greenway Network, which supports pedestrian-friendly, non-motorized modes of transportation along the Eastern Seaboard, from Maine to Key West.

No matter where you find yourself in Miami Beach, the Beachwalk is always nearby. Here are some of the highlights, heading from south to north.

South Pointe Park to Fifth Street

At the southern tip of Miami Beach, South Pointe Park is a beautifully landscaped greenspace with playgrounds, walkways and a pier that juts into the Atlantic Ocean for one of the most sweeping, panoramic views of South Beach. Here, you’ll find Smith & Wollensky, which features an outdoor bar and ample seating along the jetty overlooking the channel. With views of Fisher Island, it’s one of the most picturesque places to enjoy a meal.

You’ll notice that between the Beachwalk and the sand, a section of sand dunes and vegetation are roped off to preserve the native plants that keep the beach ecosystem healthy. As you head north along the Beachwalk, take in the sights of Miami Beach’s colorful, Art Deco-inspired lifeguard stands, which line the beach.

This area is also home to one of Miami Beach’s newest and most novel attractions. Just offshore at 4th Street, The ReefLine is a visionary underwater sculpture park and artificial reef, whose first phase debuted in December 2025 with “Concrete Coral” by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich. A series of 22 life-size sculptures of cars, they’re already alive with coral and contributing to the biodiversity and health of the ocean, and you’re invited to swim out with a mask and snorkel to explore.

Lummus Park & Art Deco District

Lummus Park runs along the Beachwalk from 5th Street to 14th Street. This wide greenbelt is home to sand volleyball courts, a Muscle Beach outdoor fitness area and the Art Deco Welcome Center at 10th Street, where you can embark on a number of walking tours. Running parallel to Ocean Drive, this is a lively section of South Beach lined with historic Art Deco hotels, outdoor cafes and bars.

As you wind your way north from 14th Street to 23rd Street, Lummus Park gives way to a lovely hedge of landscaped seagrapes and other subtropical vegetation with palm trees overhead. Along this stretch, you’ll pass some of South Beach’s most luxurious oceanfront hotels, like the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, The Ritz-Carlton South Beach and The Shelborne by Proper with their oceanfront poolscapes opening up to the Beachwalk.

Mid Beach

When you reach 1 Hotel South Beach at 23rd Street, you’ve made your way to the newest section of the Beachwalk. Here, the former elevated wooden boardwalk has been converted into 15-foot wide pavers that run to 45th Street near the Fontainebleau Miami Beach and Eden Roc Miami Beach hotels, both Miami Modern architectural gems designed by Morris Lapidus. 

Along the way, you’ll pass The Miami Beach EDITION and the Faena Miami Beach hotels. At the latter, you can spy Damien Hirst’s “Gone But Not Forgotten,” an enormous woolly mammoth skeleton sculpture dipped in gold resting and inside a glass case on the pool deck.

North Beach

After passing pass Indian Beach Park at 46th Street, you’ll continue to North Beach and Allison Park at 65th Street. This stretch of beach is lined with high-rise condos and hotels. At 72nd Street, the Miami Beach Bandshell is a fantastic destination for open-air concerts and special events.

North Beach Oceanside Park spans eight oceanfront blocks, from 79th to 87th Street, where you’ll find picnic pavilions, barbecues, a dog park and winding pathways. It’s yet another excellent spot to take a dip in the ocean and spread out a beach blanket for an afternoon on the sand beneath the Miami Beach sun.
