No reviews yet
10800 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL, Florida, 33154, United States
The northern third of Haulover Beach Park between lifeguard towers 12 and 16 is Florida's only legal clothing-optional public beach, attracting over a million visitors a year. Miami-Dade County officially recognized the nude section in 1991; the gay crowd concentrates toward the north end near towers 15–16. Park at 10800 Collins Ave and walk north past the textile section. Lifeguards, food concessions, and volunteer naturist ambassadors in season. One of the busiest queer beach scenes in the South — arrive early for parking on summer weekends.
Getting there
Park at 10800 Collins Avenue and walk north past the textile beach until you are between towers 12 and 16. Towers 15 and 16 are the gayer end.
When it's active
All year, with summer weekends requiring an early parking spot. Lifeguards and concessions are part of the setup.
What to know
This is the nude section Miami-Dade actually recognizes, since 1991. It is busy, watched by lifeguards, and not a hidden dune.
