South Pointe Park in Miami Beach is a beautifully designed 17 acre waterfront park located on the southernmost tip of Miami Beach, offering sweeping, panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Government Cut, Port Miami’s cruise ships, Fisher Island, and the Downtown Miami skyline. Originally opened in 1985 on former police and port-related land, the park was extensively redesigned in 2009 by Hargreaves Associates and Savino Miller and reopened with enhanced landscaping, limestone walkways, restored dunes, gardens planted with native coastal species, and a stabilized natural topography that blends ecology with public use.
The park features a broad promenade ideal for walking, jogging, biking, or rollerblading along Government Cut, as well as a 450 foot pier equipped with turtle-safe lighting, fish cleaning stations, and scenic benches – perfect for fishing or sunset photo ops. Families enjoy the ocean-themed children’s splash pad, jungle gym, and playground, while the green lawns and picnic areas shaded by palm groves make it perfect for gatherings or relaxation. A dedicated off‑leash bark park adds appeal for pet owners. Amenities include outdoor showers, restrooms, a café, and the notable Smith & Wollensky steakhouse overlooking the water
