Crandon Park BeachIn the shade of the palm trees

If it weren’t for South Beach, this could be the best-known beach in Miami. But, it has to settle for being one of the best, which is no small feat. It is divided into two zones: the north part is popular with surfers because of the waves; while the south, with its white sand and calm waters, is perfect for families. The idyllic palm trees are great for enjoying a break in the shade or having a picnic.
