Beaches Volleyball players, lifeguards, people strolling, skateboarders, topless tourists.... It's the busiest area of South Beach and the one we've seen countless times on TV. Lummus Park, a beachfront park, is one of the most popular destinations in Miami and a must-see for any tourist.

There are public restrooms and paved walking and biking trails, but the main amenity is the beach itself, with clear turquoise waters and beautiful tall palm trees. Lummus is within walking distance of Ocean Drive, an avenue lined with restaurants, cafes and shops.

Here you'll find the famous lifeguard booths. Don't forget to take a picture of these typical beach huts: on 14th Street you'll find one with a circular roof. There is a gay beach in the area, located on 12th Street.
