Miami's beach that stands out from the rest is undoubtedly the most pleasant one. Its crystal-clear water is pristine, and it's the cleanest beach you'll ever come across. The ocean's waves are almost non-existent, and the water is shallow for about 30-50 feet out. Although there were a few jellyfish here and there, they were not a cause for concern. We parked our car under the bridge and spent most of our time near the Ritz area. The beach is an excellent spot for snorkeling, particularly near the rocks.

The lagoon is simply flawless, and the beach is immaculate. The serene ocean is tranquil, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. Public parking is available, and payment can be made via phone for a reasonable hourly rate of 2.35. The only downside is the absence of showers on the concrete pathway leading to the beach, which would have been convenient for rinsing off sand. However, one can always hope to find them along the beach. On the plus side, there are drinking fountains available for refreshment.

This beach is a delightful haven for those who love swimming, running, biking, and taking their furry friends for a walk. The beach is well-organized with designated areas, and the infrastructure is top-notch, complete with showers at the exits and garbage bins. However, the parking situation can be a bit of a challenge, which ultimately results in fewer crowds.

Living in Surfside, I often take leisurely strolls or bike rides along the beach, specifically up to Haulover inlet. This particular area is a wonderful spot that boasts of being safe and well-maintained. Additionally, the art found in this location adds to the overall charm and appeal of this great place.

The beach offers of vast and stunning open spaces, complemented by a charming walkway that runs alongside the shoreline. It's an ideal spot to indulge in some physical activity while basking in the sun during your holiday.
