South Pointe Park

South Pointe Park is a public green space located at the southern tip of Miami Beach with walking trails, exercise equipment, and a fishing pier extending into the water. The grounds feature planted landscaping and paved pathways designed for recreational use.

The site functioned as a landfill through much of the mid-20th century before the city redeveloped it into a public park. This transformation introduced trees, wildlife habitat, and structured pathways to what had been wasteland.

The park draws local residents and tourists who gather along the water's edge to watch cruise ships navigate the shipping channel while soaking in views of the city.

The park is open from sunrise to sunset and provides restrooms, outdoor showers, and parking for visitors. The layout is accessible with level, paved surfaces throughout, making it easy to navigate the different activity zones.

The park offers a vantage point where visitors can watch cruise ships navigate narrow shipping channels before heading into the open Atlantic. This daily passage of vessels draws crowds who come specifically to observe the intricate maneuvering required in this confined waterway.
