If you turn left on 135th and go all the way straight passed Biscayne you’ll reach the Arch Creek Natural Reserve. A short walk through the reserve gets you to the Florida International University’s bay campus. Great place to take a stroll or bike ride there, along the bay, or just chill by the water– it’s really nice. Dogs love it!

Haulover Beach and Marina: same directions as to Surfside but turn left on Collins and the beach entries will be on your right after you go over the bridge. This beach is nice and big and has many options (including a clothing optional area and a dog beach). Across from the beach is the Marina where there are often activities like kite flying and there are fishing boats that arrive at the end of the day and sell fresh fish. Can also rent bikes near the skateboard park (first entrance to your right if you come from Surfside). Dog beach near the skateboard park.

Pretty beach and there’s a bar/restaurant/pier to hang out at. Left on Biscayne, right on 163rd St and cross the bridge, and when you get to Sunny Isles just go straight towards the ocean. May be hard to find parking though. At certain times in the afternoon the high-rise buildings may cast shade onto the beach so plan accordingly if you want to tan :)

South Beach does not need introductions. Beautiful beaches, hotels, Art Deco buildings, restaurants, stores, boardwalk, etc. Lively nightlife on Ocean drive and local clubs, though limited now due to COVID. This is the more touristy beach so if you want a quieter experience, try the other beaches.
