Best South Florida Beaches
This guide to South Florida beaches is for locals and visitors choosing where to spend a beach day, sorted by vibe from party scene to quiet nature. The picks run from Key Biscayne and Miami Beach up through Hollywood, Dania Beach and Fort Lauderdale to Delray Beach and North Palm Beach. Lummus Park in South Beach sits along Ocean Drive's Art Deco strip and has 18 sand volleyball courts. Hollywood's palm-lined Broadwalk stretches 2.5 miles past tiki bars and seafood spots. Crandon Park on Key Biscayne has calm water with an offshore sandbar for wading, and Haulover Park sets aside a dog beach between lifeguard towers 2 and 3.
For space on the sand, go early: Lummus Park is calmer in the morning, and Fort Lauderdale's lots fill up on weekends.
