Haulover Beach Park
A long, natural barrier-island beach north of Miami Beach, including a well-known clothing-optional section.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A wide, less-developed, locals' beach with good waves, kite-flying, and a famous (clearly signposted) nude section at the north end.
Our read - 02
The catch: it requires a car and parking fee, has fewer amenities than South Beach, and the clothing-optional area is something families should be aware of when choosing where to set up.
