Matheson Hammock Park & Marina
6.9Friend Score / 10#6 of 11 Beaches in Miami
Coral Gables9610 Old Cutler Rd, Coral Gables
Known forbeachlagoonparkmarina
A man-made atoll lagoon beach that draws locals over tourists, making it unusually calm and beautiful for Miami — ideal for swimming (the enclosed water is safe for non-swimmers), walking trails, picnicking, and waterfront views toward Key Biscayne. The heavy tree canopy and shade are the real highlight, and there's a high-end restaurant (Noma) on-site if you want to splurge. The main caveat is parking: it costs $11, which several visitors find steep for a park visit.
