Woke up early to have a run with some friends that have been coming to this park on a regular and decided to join them. When I arrived it was around 9:30 am and parking was still available with no charge. I love to see that their were many people with their pets enjoying the water and getting some exercise. The area looks way better then what it use to look like way back when I use to go as a child. Im already planning my next visit to the beach with my dog and bathing suit so we can have a dip. There is a public bathroom right in the middle with two bathroom stalls. They also have in the middle of the beach a rental for paddle boarding and kayaks. Looking forward to next time I come by and also check out some other restaurants. They sometimes have small carts selling food and beverages.

The dog beach was fun. Too much sea weed. It’s hard to find parking at this beach. The beach is hobie beach.

I have been to this beach many times before, and it’s nice that dogs ARE allowed. However, I would definitely not consider this a dog beach. The dogs are not allowed to be off leash, it is difficult to find a clear spot without washed up sea weed, and the water is filled with sharp pointy rocks. Maybe there are better spots I haven’t found on this beach, but overall it’s just nice to sit and watch the sunrise or sunset… from your car.

Best beach in S. Fl… if you’re looking to catch dog chlamydia! If it weren’t for the fact that i’m 1⁄6th Russian then i’d be a little scared right now. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date or you’ll leaving this place with more than just good memories. Like most Miamians, i have memories of being brought here by my father when i was a wee lad. Last time i visited this place must’ve been 20+ years ago. How i cherish those memories of making sand forts and using the syringes i found in the sand as cannons. I remember the layers upon layers of seaweed lining the beach and the murky water that seemed to have a film floating on it. Nothing has changed. Aside from vaccinations you should also come with steel-toe boots or at the very least some«water shoes». There is no shortage of sharp rocks at this place. Certain segments of the strip have been«cleared» but you should still keep your eyes on the ground at all times. I looked up for 2 seconds and just about received a complimentary beachside toe amputation. If your dog isn’t IN the water then he/she must be leashed. There is a police officer that drives up and down the parking lot to remind you of this. I suppose that is a good thing because there is no fence or anything at all that would deter a dog from bolting into the parking lot — and just outside of that is 45 mph traffic. The GOOD thing about this beach is that the water is fairly shallow. If your dog has never been in deep water then this is the place to ease him in to it. If your dog is part fish then i recommend haulovers dog beach, the dog«lake» at the broward bass pro, or the broward dog beach. They are all a drive for anyone south of flagler but definitely far better than this place.

This is a nice place to bring you pup! And there are a lot of other dogs too so your dog has plenty of friends to play with. The only downside is all the rocks and the water is bit dirty, but it’s a nice place to get a tan and for your dogs.

This is a sweet little beach with a view of the bridge passing into Key Biscayne as well as the beautiful Miami buildings. Ended up here after leaving Crandon park due to man o war killing our beach vibe. Its a dog beach but its so peaceful and quaint, great for kids too! The waters shallow but its nice nonetheless. They also rent paddle boats, boards, and kayaks. Boats were $ 15 for 30 min, pricey for people who live here but its a nice touch for people visiting. Free parking and tons of it.

Yesterday I wanted to take the pups on a fun little adventure to get them out of the condo. I went to this dog beach which is located after the bridge, on the right hand side. It was a very pleasant experience. Water was a beautiful turquoise color and sand was a soft white. I am not rating this dog beach five stars because the beach wasn’t clean. Glass and garbage in the parking lot and garbage in the water. It wasn’t a ton so i didn’t rate them lower. I feel if there were more garbage cans around it would have been cleaner. Overall was a nice experience and the dogs had a blast.

looked for a dog beach on Unilocal,was not clear so I posted this beach. It is the Rickenbacker Cswy Beach. Great little beach with a fantastic view and a great place for dogs. Lots of parking here. Want to walk you dog on the beach, this is the spot. Did not see any dog treats in the sand or around the park. You can lay out, get a tan and your dogs can be with you.
