Haulover Beach Park Review

Haulover Beach Park
Parks, North Miami-Dade
Fodor's Review:
Far from the action of South Beach, Haulover preserves the Miami of the late '60s. You can fire up the barbecue grills, get in on a pickup volleyball game, or bike along the beach road. There are also showers and a concession stand. Sand on the eroded beach hasn't been replaced, and the narrow strand is perfect for beachgoers who don't relish a trek across hot sand to get to the water. Kite flying is popular here, and there are kite shops to get you started. An underground path leads to the Haulover Park Marina, home to the largest charter/drift-fishing fleet in South Florida. A clearly marked clothing-optional section at the north end of the beach draws 5,000 to 7,000 birthday-suited beachgoers, including a large gay crowd, on any given Sunday.

...and a lot of it! Haulover offers the only legal, public beach in the area where you can wander about in your birthday suit. And you will have a lot of company -- the beach attracts hundreds of similarly unclothed visitors on almost any nice day, especially on weekends. It is certainly clothing optional, so you can wear as much or as little as you like. But if you decide to join the majority of people there and decide to go naked, you won't regret it!
