It's Completed!

The last section of the Miami Beach Boardwalk (beachwalk) was opened just before Memorial Day 2022! You can now walk/bike the entire 7-mile length of Miami Beach's Atlantic Ocean shoreline from South Pointe Park to 87th Terrace at Surfside.

Vending and for-profit sales activites:
For-profit vending is not permitted on the Miami Beach Boardwalk. There are specific "street performers" and "artists" zones that require a permit. Also, certain "non-profit entities" can set up tables as long as they have the proper permit.

The City of Miami Beach offers fifty-eight (58) locations for artist vendors and sixteen (16) locations for street performers which are awarded by lottery for three (3) month periods.

You can find more information regarding permits and the lottery system at the City of Miami Beach Government Website

Walking your dog on the boardwalk
Technically, pets are prohibited in public parks and beaches except for designated dog parks. See Miami Beach City Ordinance Section 10-10. However, at any given time you can find people willing to risk the small fine by walking their dogs on the boardwalk (south of 21st street) with leashes.

Generally speaking, if you are not being a nuisance or making an ass of yourself, Miami Beach is a pretty laid back place and you can pretty much be yourself. Just respect other people's right to enjoy the boardwalk and always clean up after your pooch and you won't have any problems taking your dog for a walk.

Dogs ARE NOT allowed on the sand on Miami Beach.

Lost and Found:
Lost and Found on the beach is located at the Ocean Rescue Headquarters located at 1001 Ocean Drive. 305-673-7714
