A great park area with a walk way to run, walk, or bike. This is the Southern most point of Miami Beach. It is a great place to watch the cruise ships leave the Port of Miami for the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Most cruise ships leave after 4pm. Beware- on weekends parking is $20 here... so it's best to be dropped off or take the bus.
