Samson Oceanfront Park is a gorgeous 2.1 acre beach park in Sunny Isles Beach. It opened in 2000 as the city's first park and it was named in honor of Gilbert Samson, the first mayor of Sunny Isles Beach. The land for the park was acquired with grant funding from the Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Program and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's, Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program. Note that this park does not have its own lot but you can park at one of two nearby public lots, then cross the street.
Park amenities at Samson Oceanfront Park include beach access, shower, benches, boardwalk, pavilion with tables, restrooms, water fountains, playground, public art, sand volleyball court on the beach, vending machines, and life guard. From the park, you can take a short walk down the wide beach to see the Newport Pier where there is a restaurant and it is a fun place to take in all the beach, water, and fishing activities. I normally head north to go to the beach but Samson Oceanfront Park is so nice it could make a girl head south.
