I have asked just about everyone I've met here in Miami for tourist suggestions, creating a pile of two- or three- item lists that I curate as I scratch off each destination. Of course the first thing out of everyone's mouth is, "Well, have you been to South Beach?" and of course the answer is "Yes, but it's crowded and expensive and a pain to both reach and drive away from." But I am surprised that South Pointe Park, and especially it's awesome pier, hasn't received more mention. Perhaps that's because it was only renovated in 2009, or perhaps it's because its neighbor, South Beach, is a gaudy rhinestone stealing everyone's attention. Whatever the case, I want to show this stunning park a little love. It provides a perfect view of the coastline of Miami Beach, and the beaches down there are spotless—not a shell or clump of slimy seaweed to be seen. Take a look.
There were a few photo shoots, so you'll still feel bad about yourself, just like on South Beach!
Also check out the clear sand and water, and this guy using a selfie stick like a Korean pro.
The entrance to the pier, which runs alongside a stone breakwater.
