This was part of our Florida Trip. You can view the full trip report HERE.
We had taken care to select a family friendly beach in Miami as we were travelling with our 6 year old. After lot of read the best beach which is kid-friendly in Miami is the South Beach Pointe Park. We took a drive through the Ocean drive to reach this place. Parking can be a pain and considering we were visiting on a Sunday was even the more worse. We parked at 137 Washington Street which was a short walk from the beach and was safe. It was $2 per hour and we parked for 4 hours.
We walked to the beach and spent an hour there relaxing while our son was playing in the sand and water. Then we took a walk to the pier. It is a must see with a beautiful view of the shore and buildings. There is a small eat-out and park close to the pier where we stopped for a quick break and ice cream and fresh smoothie.
After that we took a walk to the Art Deco Street. It was not that long a walk and there were free shuttle buses that would take you there, but it just did not come on time when we were waiting at the stop. So we figured it would be faster to walk. We did not walk the full stretch of Art Deco street and turned midway. By the time we clicked few pics and got back to the parking it was around 3 PM.

Next stop was the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at Key Biscayne. The drive through the Virginia Key and Crandon Park was very scenic and beautiful. We did hear great reviews about Crandon Park and would have loved to spend some time there. Unfortunately we had to skip that since we did not have the time.
The entrance to the state park was $9. We ended up having a late picnic lunch there and then went to the beach. There is a lighthouse on the beach but by the time we reached there the entry to the lighthouse was closed. So we just spent the time on the beach enjoying the views of sunset.
There is a cafe there by the beach, but we did not try anything as they had very limited vegetarian options.
