Beaches for couples in Miami?

Is there anything better than a beach date? Before you answer that, you might want to check out some of these gorgeous beaches around Miami. Whether you’re trying to woo a special someone or rekindle old love, these beaches will seduce you with their romantic charm.

Surfside

Sleepy Surfside oozes with beach town vibe. It’s almost nostalgic: a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone, life slows to a crawl and the mania of downtown Miami is a distant whir. It’s also the perfect spot for a quiet, romantic escape from the world. It’s almost like taking a trip into a 70s summertime beach flick. Time stands still here, and it’s easy to fall in love all over again in Surfside.

21st–45th Street Beach

Everyone can probably agree that while South Beach has its charm, but it’s not exactly the best spot for a romantic stroll. Instead, opt for the nearby stretch of beach running from 21^st Street up to around 45. This area is much quieter, and a better pick for romance. During the day it can still get a bit noisy, but the late afternoon lull is pure bliss.

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park

Another slice of idyllic innocence, Bill Braggs offers a wide beach overlooked by a historic lighthouse. Like Surfside, it feels like you’re a world away – even though it’s only just a short trip across the bridge to Key Biscayne. It’s just a stone’s throw away, and a great spot for a romantic Sunday afternoon outing.

South Pointe Park Pier

South Pointe was made for nurturing young love. This quiet point at the end of Miami Beach is a great spot for a romantic beach-side date. Grab a bag of crab claws from Joe’s Takeaway, and settle down in the picnic area for stunning views and a mellow vibe. Afterward, take a walk along the beach, or just sit back and watch the cruise ships come in.

Matheson Hammock Park Beach

An artificial atoll pool, Matheson Hammock has good looks and a chilled vibe, and the sunset is not to be missed. However, the real drawcard here are the perfectly still waters, completely free from the surf. The surface is like a mirror of water and offers effortless, lazy drifting. All you need are a few inflatables, the love of your life and a few hours to whittle away on the water.

Bal Harbor

Just north of Surfside, Bal Harbour is decadence to the extreme. Locals say there are more millionaires per capita here than anywhere else in the country – and that’s not particularly hard to believe. Not only that, but there’s a good reason Miami’s upper crust chose Bal Harbor to live. Turquoise waters and flawless white sand make for a backdrop that’s almost too picture perfect to be real. So if you’re looking to impress someone, make a beeline to Bal Harbor.

Under the MacArthur Causeway

A bit of a local secret, Watson Island’s MacArthur Causeway is a rumbling morass of traffic for most of the day. However, unbeknownst to passersby, beneath the causeway, there’s a small area with views of the Miami skyline to die for. Come here at night to see the twinkling lights of the city from afar. If you get a clear night it’s even better.
