Miami Beach Boardwalk

The Miami Beach Boardwalk, also called the Beachwalk, is a paved oceanfront path that runs about 7 miles along Miami Beach's Atlantic shoreline, from South Pointe Park to 87th Terrace in Surfside. The last section opened just before Memorial Day 2022, so the full length can now be walked or ridden end to end.

The Mid-Beach stretch is shaded by trees in places and sits between the dunes and the hotel and condo towers, with access points that lead down to the sand. Guests use it for sunrise walks, morning runs and unhurried bike rides, and many rent a CitiBike to cover the distance.

Public restrooms, water fountains, cycling lanes, exercise machines and a playground are along the route, and the path is wheelchair accessible. Hotel bars and restaurants across from the beach make it easy to stop for lunch, and people-watching is part of the draw.

There is no admission charge because the boardwalk is part of the city's public park system. Electric bikes are banned, and dogs are not allowed on the sand.
