Allison Park

A small city park and beachfront on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, with sea turtle sculptures, a lifeguard and outdoor showers.

Revisado octubre de 2026

Good for an easy beach stop with the basics covered: a lifeguard, showers and some green space. The trade-off is that the sources say little else, so don't expect big amenities or a long list of things to do.

The sea turtles

The detail people remember is the sea turtle sculptures spread around the grounds. They give a plain patch of green a bit of personality, and they're an easy photo stop if you've got kids along. Treat them as a nice extra, not a reason to cross town. The park itself is a green space that runs out to the beach at 6500 Collins Avenue, so the sculptures sit on the way to the sand rather than in some separate exhibit. It scores 4.7 from about 2,500 Google reviews, which is a strong number for a neighborhood park this simple.

Lifeguard and showers

The practical case for Allison Park is short and solid. There's a lifeguard on the beachfront, which matters if you're swimming with children or just prefer someone watching the water. There are also showers, so you can rinse off the salt and sand before getting back in the car or heading to lunch. That's the whole package from what we could confirm: grass, sculptures, sand, a guard and a rinse. We found no details on rentals, food or restrooms, so bring your own water, shade and snacks rather than counting on them.

Planning the trip

We couldn't confirm opening hours, and the lifeguard's schedule isn't listed either, so check with the City of Miami Beach before you go, especially if a guarded swim is the point. The address is 6500 Collins Avenue, right on the main road along the beach, which makes it simple to find by car, bus or rideshare. Parking details weren't in our sources. Plan for a beach morning or afternoon here rather than an evening outing, and pair it with a meal elsewhere on Collins.
