Enjoy fantastic views of the city and plentiful equipment rentals such as windsurfers, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, hobie cats and sunfish sailboats. Because people often forget to clean up when they use this popular dog and picnic area, you should be careful of where you step and remember to bring doggy bags for your pup! There have been swimming warnings here in the past. But, when it's clean and safe, this is a fantastic spot to enjoy all kinds of water-based recreation! It has incredible views of Downtown Miami’s skyline. Play a rousing game of fetch and let your four-legged friend socialize with the other pooches in the surf. This park is open from Sunrise to Sunset daily and is located at Rickenbacker Causeway Miami, FL 33129.
