Confirmed from Miami Beach Boardwalk's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Brick-paved promenade running along the beach for walking, biking, and ocean views.
What runners say about Miami Beach Boardwalk
“They clean everyday the beach which is a big plus but the sea isn’t that beautiful.”
“Beautiful views😇and excellent weather, especially if you go early in the morning when it’s not too crowded.”
Loved this very long walking path right along the beach. Lots of activity. People walking, biking rollerblading, and just hanging out. A great way to experience the different parts of the beach with plenty of access to the beach.
This is one the best part of south beach. This broad walk is almost covers all the south beach and ends at south point pier point which is at the end of the south beach. This walkway is beautiful as it runs parallel to collins avenue.
Beautiful views😇and excellent weather, especially if you go early in the morning when it’s not too crowded. The only downside is the parking—you have to pay for a full day at $20.35, which feels pricey if you’re only staying for a couple of hours. If anyone knows a better parking spot, I’d love some tips!
The boardwalk is incredible! Filled with vibrant people having fun walking, riding bikes, and walking dogs. The beach is beautiful as well as all the fun little tiki bars and restaurants. There’s no place quite like Miami Beach. The boardwalk is seven miles long and takes you right to South Beach.
Trail conditions & character
“Nice landscaping and some good views of the beach, the condos and other places that run along the water, and some natural plant life that grows back from the beach.”
“Plenty of people always running, biking, walking, to and from the beach but also just along the boardwalk.”
“The only downside is the parking—you have to pay for a full day at $20.”
