HAULOVER BEACH
What's the crowd like here? In a
word: Naked. Serving as Miami-Dade's only legal haven for nudists,
Haulover Park contains one of south Florida's most beautiful beaches—a
mile and a half stretch that draws people from all walks of life, from other
states, Canada and a variety of other countries. Nestled between the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, it has pristine white sandy
shores, open ocean surf and beautifully landscaped sand dunes. The beach is
ideal for surfing as well as swimming. Well-trained lifeguards, who will
inform beach patrons of existing weather and surf conditions, guard the
entire beach.
Haulover provides plenty of areas to barbecue, a small
9-hole golf course, a full-service marina, tennis courts, kite shops and
water sport rentals. Haulover Park Tennis Center offers six lighted tennis
courts and tennis lessons. Reservations are accepted, and the courts are
wheelchair-accessible. Haulover Golf Course is located on the north end of
Miami Beach, right on the Bay. This 9-hole, 810-yard, par-27 course is ideal
for the player who wants to sharpen his/her short game or for the family on
a casual outing. The longest hole is 125 yards long. Beginners and
experienced golfers are welcome. Prices are the lowest you'll find, and
rentals are available. Afterwards, patrons can relax and enjoy the Bay
breeze at the Afterdeck Restaurant, which is adjacent to the marina and golf
course. There is plenty of parking and admission into the park is $4 per
vehicle. |
