Miami Beach Beachwalk
Discover Miami Beach's scenic Beachwalk - a nine-mile oceanfront pedestrian promenade perfect for joggers, cyclists, and leisurely strolls. Originally a wooden boardwalk from 23 to 45 streets, the Beachwalk, as it is known today, was completed in June 2022 as a wider, ADA-accessible paver pathway that seamlessly connects Miami Beach to Surfside and Bal Harbor.
The Beachwalk is part of the Atlantic Greenway Network – a pedestrian, non-motorized transportation thoroughfare along the Eastern Seaboard from Maine to Key West.
