Hobie Island Beach Park

Set right off the Rickenbacker Causeway on the way to Key Biscayne, the park offers a low-key setting with a markedly different pace from the crowded stretches of South Beach. Watersports gear rentals make it easy to launch kayaks and paddleboards across the flat bay, while the soft sand and palm trees in the breeze invite simple wading. Facing unobstructed over the water, the shoreline is an easy spot to unwind, take photos, and watch the sun go down during golden hour.
