South Pointe Park Pier

Hands down, one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in Miami. The view from the pier is absolutely breathtaking—the ocean stretching endlessly, the breeze on your face, and the sunset? Pure magic. It’s the kind of spot that makes you stop, breathe, and just feel present. I could’ve stayed there forever. Even the walk from the beach to the pier felt peaceful and grounding. Everything about this place—from the water to the skyline to the colors of the sky—just felt right. It’s not just a view, it’s a feeling. Calm, stunning, and full of life. Whether you’re there for a stroll, to watch the waves crash, or to just sit and take it all in, South Pointe Park Pier is 100% worth visiting.

Located at the very eastern end of the park, it’s one of my favorite places within the park. I come here pretty often to spot containers ships and or cruises sailing in or out. You can see them from so close. Also the ocean views are beautiful with the south beach waterfront, it’s just pretty. I recommend it either early or late in the day. For sunrises, it’s just epic.

A pretty short pier as piers go, but none the less a very modern well-kept pier with beautiful views of the ocean and South Beach Miami. Definitely a beautiful walking area if you are within a mile or so, especially at night.

South Pointe Park Pier is as you’d expect the most Southern part of Miami South Beach. We decided to visit South Pointe Pier around sunset and this proved to be a great idea. Access to the Pier is just off Ocean Drive and the coastal boardwalk and offers very easy access for every ability. The Pier is flanked by a huge rock break water and provides a superb outlook and vista of Fisher Island, the Atlantic Ocean and as far as the eye can see North up Miami Beach. Spectacular views to be had from this pier and a place everyone must visit when in Miami. It’s typically very windy due to its exposed position so don’t wear a hat…!!

Very cool pier with beautiful views in every direction! It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy the breeze, or snap some photos. There’s plenty of space, so it never feels too crowded. Even better, there’s a CitiBike station nearby—perfect for riding over and making a day of it. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and want a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.

I’ve been to South Pointe Park several times, and it’s one of my favorite spots in Miami Beach. The views are incredible—ocean on one side, skyline on the other. You can watch massive cruise ships pass by from the pier. It feels peaceful even when it’s busy. The walking paths are wide and clean. I’ve gone jogging here early in the morning—low crowds, soft breeze, and the sunrise is worth getting up for. There’s a great splash pad and playground, which kept my nephew entertained for hours. I’ve eaten at Smith & Wollensky inside the park—pricey but the view and service made it worth it. There’s also a casual café near the kid’s area for snacks. Parking is hit-or-miss. If you don’t get here early, you might circle for a while. Shade is limited too, so bring sunscreen or a hat. Overall, it’s a clean, safe, and beautiful place to relax, walk, or bring the family. I recommend it if you want a break from the loud parts of South Beach.

Amazing pointe to watch cruise ships departing and arriving. Pier it’s not too long to walk it’s just to view beach scenery drinking water fountains are not working. Super blue water clean to deep eye. It closes early then sunset time. Forest rangers give you a call time up.

Great spot to watch cruise ships come and go, easy walk from here to the main part of Miami Beach and all the art deco buildings along ocean street / Collins st /Washington ave.
