Lummus Park, Urban park along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, US

Lummus Park is a large coastal park in Miami Beach that stretches along the Atlantic Ocean with wide sandy beaches, walkways, and green spaces facing the water. The grounds include volleyball courts, outdoor exercise stations, playgrounds for different ages, and a seafront promenade for pedestrians.

Lummus Park is named after Miami pioneers J.E. Lummus and J.N. Lummus, the brothers whose name the 74-acre oceanfront ground carries. In the mid-1980s the park was redesigned and improved as part of the redevelopment project of what is now the Miami Beach Architectural District of South Beach. That work gave the grounds their present layout along Ocean Drive between 5th and 15th Streets.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors enjoy water sports, jogging, and beach activities throughout the year. The seafront promenade and sandy beach shape how people spend their leisure time in this part of the city.

The park runs along the east side of Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Streets, with the wavy Promenade separating lawn from beach up to 21st Street, where it becomes a boardwalk. Enter from Ocean Drive or from the sand; the beach side is reached across grass and dunes. Shade is limited along the open lawn, so plan for strong midday sun.

The wavy Promenade separating grass from beach takes its design from Roberto Burle Marx's oceanfront walk at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. It runs to 21st Street, where it becomes a boardwalk. The park also served as a filming location for the television series Miami Vice.
