Rode my bike over the Key Biscayne Bridge . Great ride, beach it never too crowded . Only problem is that there is no where to lock your bike . So I took my bike on the beach with me.

North Beach in Key Biscaine, not too crowded even on Sunday. Number of palms make you feel yourself like in tropical island . Amazing park with BBQ just behind.

Julian W

Super relaxed & beautiful Beach , not overcrowded at all. Great for families, BBQ or picknick possible in the nearby park .

On the weekend, Crandon Beach teems with smell and sound. For a more personal experience with Crandon Park , swing by on a weekday, and those vast stretches of sand will be all yours.

Take a stroll on Crandon Beach during sea turtle season, you can search for marked nests with all of the pertinent facts including when the nest was found.

Went here on a Friday afternoon, barely anyone there. It was are own private beach . A bit too windy and cold in October to get us in the water, but seemed to be a great spot for kite surfing as well .

Andra Zapartan

Awesome beach ???? and perfect for kitesurfing ????????????

Ricardo Largaespada

Started off just fine until the rain dropped in. Stuck under the umbrella for a few minutes, but the weather changed from cloudy to sunny. Crandon Park is one of the many beaches worth visiting.

Depart Brickell Station at SW 1 Avenue (Eastside). Route B bus to Cape Florida State Park . At the Crandon Park stop (Golf Course ), get off and walk across Crandon Blvd to the North Beach Entrance gate

Pretty nice and even has lots of space to fire up a grill right next to the beach ! Didn't like all the seaweed on ocean floor!

Not South Beach , but a private great beach on the Bay . Less crowded and much calmer- come here for a more relaxing beach visit.

Alex McClard

Very relaxed atmosphere , great for families. No umbrella rental tho, also kind of dirty . Lots of birds so watch your snacks !

Joanna Flamm

Really nice beach with super shallow water . Good bathroom facilities and picnic spots.

For a public beach , this one is pretty nice. A good walk to the Ritz too.

Alex De Freitas

It's great to bring the kids!! But grab your snacks and a lot of water 'cause there's no place to buy anything to eat or drink!!

Brenøe

Lovely beach and not too crowdy. Shallow waters . Nice for children and playing ball.

Luis Garcia Falcon

Great beach usually not a lot of people there. Sargassum and Seagrass in the beach but tolerable.

Other beaches may have glitz and glamour, but this barrier island south of downtown and Miami Beach is quiet , and away from the madness of South Beach . Plus, it's perfect for children. Read more

Becareful sitting under the big shelters, they will harass you until you leave or pay $150 for it. Also, there's a $6 fee to come here. I used to like this place years ago but not anymore.
