South Pointe Beach

The sand at the very southern tip of Miami Beach, in the 33139 zip code, where South Beach runs out at the channel.

Checked October 2026

Good for a beach day at the quieter end of South Beach, with ship-channel views thrown in. The trade-off: we don't have confirmed hours, parking or facilities details, so check before you go.

The end of the line

South Pointe Beach sits at the bottom of Miami Beach, where the long run of South Beach sand stops at the water. That location is the point: there's open ocean on one side and the channel into the port on the other, so the horizon has more going on than at most stretches of the beach. It scores 4.8 from about 1,100 Google reviews, which is high for a public beach that gets plenty of foot traffic. People clearly like it here, and the rating holds up across a good number of visitors.

Watching the water

Most of the appeal is just looking out. Big ships use the channel off the tip, and seeing one slide past from the sand is the kind of thing people bring up later. Beyond that, it's a regular Atlantic beach: sun, sand, waves. Bring your own shade, water and sunscreen, since we can't confirm what's for rent or for sale on site. Keep the plan simple and you'll be happy: a towel, a swim, a slow walk along the water's edge.

Before you head over

We don't have reliable hours for this beach, so check current access times before you go, especially if you're planning an early morning or an evening visit. The same goes for parking and restrooms: we couldn't confirm either, and South Beach parking rules change often enough that it's worth a quick look ahead of time. What's certain is the setting and the rating. Everything else, sort out before you load the car and you'll spend more of the day on the sand.

Good to know

Hours aren't listed anywhere we checked, so confirm access times before an early or late visit.
