NORTH SHORE PARK BEACH
Behind the gates of this manicured park you will find
long stretches of sand, picnic areas, better than average restrooms, showers
and lifeguards. An often overlooked, but charming gem among Miami-Dade
beaches, the sea grapes and sand dunes will make you feel like you have
landed somewhere in the Caribbean. One of this park’s most charming features is the outdoor
amphitheater, which hosts a number of cultural events throughout the season,
including performances from the Florida Dance Festival (in the month of
June). Every Friday, North Beach Skates is held here from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m..
The first hour of this rockin' event (a DJ provides the music) is reserved
for the smallest skaters (six years and under). The entrance fee is $1, but
kids under six are free.
Be sure and check out Altos del Mar located just south
of the park — it’s best known for its lush and hugely appealing green patch
of land. Bring a blanket and have a picnic or simply soak up the South
Florida sunshine. Parking is easy and available in nearby lots. |
