The Best Dog Parks & Dog Friendly Beaches in Miami Beach

Did you know that we have 6 Dog Parks in Miami Beach and one Dog Beach where you can take your dogs to play?

There are currently six different Dog Parks in Miami Beach called “Bark Parks” and one “Bark Beach” in Miami Beach where you can take your favorite pup! Miami Beach Bark Parks provide a social setting for dog owners to allow their pets to play off-leash. All parks feature two double fenced in dog runs for large and small breeds, dog drinking fountains, human drinking fountains, benches (for humans), doggie-bag dispensers and waste receptacles.

Although I do not have a dog (allergies!); I go to the South Pointe Park Dog Park at least once a week just to sit and watch all of the dogs play, it’s so much fun! Below are all of the Dog Parks in Miami Beach, and information about the Miami Beach Dog Friendly Beach!

I also maintain the largest online list of Pet Friendly Condos in Miami and Miami Beach if you are looking to buy or rent a condo!

2025 Update: Miami Beach is now home to three “bark beaches” after the city announced it’s expanding access beyond North Beach.
