Verificato novembre 2026
For anyone with a bike and a free morning who wants real dirt without leaving Miami. The trade-off: it's a club-run trail system with daytime hours, and if you want to ride after dark, that's a member perk.
The dirt itself
Mountain biking on a flat barrier island sounds like a joke, and the North Point Trails are the punchline in reverse. The Virginia Key Bicycle Club has been building singletrack here since 2010, off Arthur Lamb Jr Road inside Virginia Key Beach Park, with lines graded for first-time beginners all the way up to expert riders. Named trails get regular attention: AOBTD was recently rebuilt, Tom Sawyer reopened after a deep cleaning, and the Pit hosts sessions. It sits at 4.8 from about 490 Google reviews, which is a strong showing for a patch of dirt.
Who keeps it rideable
Nobody's getting paid to rake these berms. The club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the trails run almost entirely on memberships, private donations and volunteer build days. Members get night rides, shop discounts and club events, plus the satisfaction of knowing their dues literally move dirt. The club also runs races like a women's time trail and marked its 15th year recently. If you ride here often, joining or showing up for a build is the honest way to pay it back. Trail news, closures and reopenings get posted on the club's Instagram first.
Bringing the kids
Beginner lines aren't an afterthought here. The club runs a Kids Bike Club and has hosted Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, so younger riders have a real on-ramp instead of being dragged along behind a parent. The trails are open every day from 7 am to 5:30 pm, which makes an early start the natural move: more of the day ahead of you and the rest of Virginia Key Beach Park right there afterward. Let kids pick the easy loops first and work up.
