Samson Oceanfront Park

A small oceanfront park in Sunny Isles Beach with shade, a playground and a clean, calm beach.

Checked October 2026

Samson Oceanfront Park is a tidy local beach park for families in Sunny Isles; the trade-off is that it is small, surrounded by high-rises, and far north of central Miami.

Why you go

You come for a clean, easy beach in Sunny Isles. The park gives a small, well-kept access to the sand between the tall condo towers on Collins Avenue, with shaded areas, a playground and restrooms. The beach in front is wide and the water usually calm. It rates 4.7 from 1,000 Google reviews, mostly from families who live nearby or are staying in the towers.

When to go

Google lists 7 am to 7 pm every day. Mornings are quiet and cool, good for a swim and a walk along the sand. Weekends bring local families by late morning. The towers block the sun in the late afternoon, so the beach falls into shade early, which helps in summer but ends the sunbathing sooner.

Know before you go

Sunny Isles Beach is about 40 minutes north of downtown Miami by car. Parking near the park is limited, so check the city's rules before you go; the park phone is (305) 792-1706. Bring your own chair and shade. Haulover Park to the south is bigger, with large paid lots and more space for groups.
