A small, palm-shaded waterfront park at 18th Street and Purdy Avenue, with playgrounds, paths and a memorial to Maurice Gibb.

Checado em outubro de 2026

It's for families and walkers on the west side of South Beach who want shade, water and a playground. It's a neighborhood park, not a destination, so keep plans short.

Shade and water

The draw here is simple: palms overhead and water at the edge. Google sums it up as a palm-shaded waterfront park with paths, which is about the size of it. It sits at the corner of 18th Street and Purdy Avenue, on the quieter bay side of South Beach, far from the Ocean Drive crowd. A slow loop on the paths with a stop by the water is the right pace. It has 4.7 from about 790 Google reviews, which is strong for a small city park that doesn't try to be more than it is.

The playgrounds

Most of the regulars seem to be parents. The park has playgrounds, and the palm cover helps on the hot afternoons when an open lot would be unbearable. Pair it with a walk along the paths and you've got an easy hour with kids who need to burn energy. Bring water and sunscreen, because the shade only goes so far in a Miami summer. Our sources don't list restrooms or other facilities, so plan for that before you leave home rather than counting on it.

Who Maurice Gibb was

The park is named for Maurice Gibb, the Bee Gees member who died in 2003. The band's ties to Miami run deep, and this small corner of Miami Beach keeps his name in the neighborhood. It's a quiet tribute, so don't expect a museum or a big monument. For a Bee Gees fan passing through South Beach, it's a worthwhile short detour. For everyone else, it's a pleasant waterfront stop that happens to come with a bit of music history attached.
