Bal Harbour Beach

15 Best Beaches in Miami

"At the northern tip of Miami Beach this mile-long beach is popular with the luxury set and is framed by an open-air mall of swanky shops and dreamy five-star hotels. After ocean dips and lounging on the soft sand, head to one of the upscale restaurants like chic Mediterranean spot Aba Miami or Atlantikós in the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, or take a stroll along the palm-shaded oceanfront jogging path—perfect for people-watching." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
