South Pointe Park

The City lists South Pointe Park open daily from sunrise to sunset. The pier, playground water feature, beach lifeguards, concession, and beach-mobility services may use separate schedules.

Paid municipal garages, lots, and metered streets serve South of Fifth. The nearest spaces fill early on weekends; verify garage closing terms and never rely on Ocean Drive curb access.

Use Washington Avenue for the park and playground, South Pointe Drive for the bayfront promenade, or the beach entrance for lifeguard and mobility assistance. The pier is at the east end.

Public restrooms and outdoor showers are available near the beach and park facilities. Beach-wheelchair assistance begins with the lifeguard during service hours.

Park, pier, playground, splash pad, promenade, and beach access are free. Parking, food, rentals, and reserved spaces cost extra.

Paved paths, ramps, beach access mats, and free manual beach wheelchairs support access. Chairs are first-come, require an assisting companion, and have seasonal service hours.

Leashed dogs are allowed in designated park areas under posted rules, but not on the beach sand or in playground and splash areas. Use the nearby designated dog park for off-leash activity.

The splash pad, playground, lawns, ships, and beach make a strong family stop. Keep children clear of cyclists, pier fishing gear, seawalls, and Government Cut currents.

Miami Beach trolley and bus routes serve Washington Avenue and South Pointe Drive. Walking or cycling from South Beach avoids peak parking delays.

Government Cut has strong currents and vessel traffic. Use guarded beach areas for swimming, keep clear of pier fishing gear and seawalls, and check lightning, surf, heat, beach flags, and event closures.

Check official beach flags, lightning, heat index, UV, wind, tides, water quality, storms, and operator alerts. Leave the beach immediately for thunder and never use park hours as proof that swimming is guarded or safe.
