In a statement that will surprise approximately zero people, Miami has some of the best beaches in the nation. But it’s not just about the crystal-clear waters and the white sand beaches (though yeah, those definitely help). It’s the tropical beach culture as a whole. The “Magic City” truly has it all, from world-class beachfront restaurants to some of the nation’s hottest nightlife just steps from the coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the Intracoastal River. With more than 20 miles of shores to explore, though, finding the right beach for your particular style can take some research—which is why we did the work for you. Whether you want to party on scene-y sands or chill in a more remote setting without all those skyscrapers, here are the best beaches in Miami—no (bikini) strings attached.
