Parking
For the clothing-optional section, Miami-Dade County points visitors to two lots:
- North Lot: Reached through the Haulover Marine Center's boat ramps entrance. Take pedestrian tunnel #4 or #5 to the beach.
- Lot #1: The other lot serving the clothing-optional section, same tunnels.
Both carry a $1 weekday surcharge. Lots further south serve the rest of the park and cost $1 less on weekdays, but leave you a longer walk up the sand.

Finding the Clothing-Optional Section
Once you're in the park, head to the northern end of the beach. The clothing-optional section is clearly marked with signs and has dedicated beach access points. If you're coming from the main parking lot, walk north along the beach until you see the signs. The section is about 0.4 miles long.
