Miami’s tropical beaches offer a great opportunity to enjoy some time in the sun and get some exercise. There are even some lesser known spots where you can go to avoid the tourist crowds provided you don’t mind venturing off the beaten path and doing a bit of exploring to find them.

South Beach is the ultimate Miami beach experience and not to be missed when you visit . It’s the place to see and be seen and show off the product of months in the gym. While South Beach isn’t clothing optional, like parts of Haulover beach, topless bathing is permitted. This is the perfect beach if you like to people watch as during the day you can easily see vintage cars, models, and rollerblading people of all ages from the sand. The beach is located right across the street from many of Miami’s nightclubs. Once you feel you’ve had enough sun or it’s set and you’re not ready to head back to the hotel room just yet, remember to have a change of clothes ready to slip into so you can hit those clubs .

One of the most interesting beaches in South Florida is Virginia Key Beach which was once the southern end of a barrier island. It’s near the Miami Seaquarium located on both the north and south sides of the Rickenbacker Causeway. This beach can be crowded in areas due to the easy access this location presents but secluded spots can be found if you’re willing to explore. This beach also has the benefit of the only beach in the region that allows dogs if you enjoy travel with your pet.

Haulover Beach , between Sunny Isles Beach and Bal Harbour on Miami beach is known for 2 things. As a fantastic surf spot and more world wide as Florida’s only full nudity beach. Don’t worry if bathing in the buff isn’t up your alley the nude portion of the beach is marked with signs to prevent unintended eye-fulls. South Florida Free Beaches/Florida Naturist Association founded Haulover Beach’s clothing optional section in 1991. Keep in mind that though this is a nude beach there are laws against public lewdness, meaning you probably should wait and get back to your hotel room for more intense affection than hand holding or kissing or at least put your bathing suits back on.
