Haulover Beach Park

Known for its spacious expanses and small crowds, Haulover Beach offers free parking and endless leisure activities. With landlubber sports, including tennis and golf, water activities such as surfing and swimming, and interesting extras like kite-building and flying workshops, not to mention hiking trails and fishing coves, Haulover has something for everyone. The February Kite Festival does draw substantial crowds, and it's well-worth going, even as a spectator. Haulover is mostly known for being Miami's only public, clothing-optional beach. Visitors are welcome to shed their bathing suits and avoid tan lines. Everyone is expected to act appropriately, and generally, everyone does.
