South Pointe Park
A landscaped waterfront park at the southern tip of South Beach where cruise ships pass close by.
The call
Worth it if you're watching the budget and you only have one day.
Short answer
Is South Pointe Park worth it?
South Pointe Park deserves a place on most first itineraries.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
One of the best free spots in Miami — a breezy pier, a quieter beach, lush landscaping, and front-row views of cruise ships gliding out of Government Cut.
- 02
The catch: it's at the far southern end so it's a walk or drive from central South Beach, and the pier gets busy at sunset.
Is it a fit?
