rickenbacker causeway beach

The park is great but the dog poop on the ground and around the waters edge even in the water is not so great

What a great place to have fun with the family and family pets. We enjoyed our kayaks and the abundance if sea life. Great for fishing, snorkeling, shore diving, picnicking, and swimming. Can't wait to go back

The beach is not really a beach but more like a small stretch of sand in front of a small parking lot. It is free to park which is a good thing in Miami. Dogs are allowed - which is the best thing about this stretch of sand. Water is not the best. Rocky bottom. Lots of seaweed and ants. If you don't mind the rough spots, this is the best place in Miami to get your dogs in the water without a hassle. BBQ grills also allowed.

Every time we are in Miami we make a point of going to the Key Biscayne causeway for a walk. Great views and a comfortable environment. The beach seems to be a popular place to take your dog for a walk and a swim.

Good beach if you have dogs, lot of seaweed at the beach but amazing views of Miami skyline and the bridge, good for walking or biking along the the paved path or have a picnic/barbeque' not too good for swimming.

I like the beach that is going towards the exit under the bridge on the right hand side. It has a beautiful view of miami's skyline line Miami beach cruise line and the brickell buildings. Literally, you can park 10-20 feet from the beach. My families bbq there and enjoy the beach and the shade the trees provide. Also it is a dog lovers beach since you can see pet with thier pets. I like to sit under the trees and read since most people play loud music for you to enjoy

Small strip of sand, that gets unbelievably crowded during weekends. Nice just for a stroll or for biking along the paved path, but not on summer weekends

In our family, every trip to South Florida includes a trip to Rickenbacher Causeway. It costs only $1.50 to cross the Causeway and the charge is only in one direction, not both. It is well worth it for the views you get. You should stop at the beach on the right as you drive over the causeway and then pull off on the right on the way back to look at the view of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay. The beach here is special and is great for families as the bay is not very deep.

This is a great place!! The views are spectular! Beaches on both sides, clean and shady. Atlantic on one side and the bay and Miami skyline on the other! The causeway has a $1.50 charge, but totally worth it!

The beach was quit crowded when we were there which was both a plus and a negative: <on the minus side there were too many very noisy children. On the plus side there was lots of interesting crowd watching.

Good view of Miami please bring change for the $1.50 toll. I like to go Miami Seaquarium and the Pelican Restaurant located once you cross the bridge. The Bill Bagg Park is located in this area which has quiet, torquoise beach.

The beach runs all along Rickenbacker to Key Biscayne. The views of the downtown Miami skyline and Key Biscayne can be seen on either side of the causeway. Keep in mind, there are a few vendors on the actual beach during the weekday, weekends are a lot better, but the beach gets packed, so get there early! If you are a tourist, keep in mind that Rickenbacker Causeway is the only road in & out of Key Biscayne. You pay a toll at the causeway's entrance (Miami side). The causeway leads you to other places like: Miami Seaquarium, Jimbo's place (Virginia key), MAST Academy, RSMAS's (Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science), Crandon Park (where the Sony-Ericsson Open is held), Bill Baggs Cape Florida State park and the City of Key Biscayne.

Wonderful food - fresh fish! Big portions and reasonably priced wine. Sit outside and enjoy!

I was so happy to find a beach that was PRO DOGS! This beach is FREE and is right off the highway in Key Biscayne. It does cost $1.50 to cross the bridge to get there, so make sure you bring cash for that. The beach is on your right, right when you cross the bridge. It is a nice, long stretch of beach. There are food trucks, kayak rentals, paddleboard rentals, etc. You need to bring your own chairs and umbrella if you want. We bring a cooler with our drinks and subs, and enjoy a few hours there relaxing. The water is pretty calm so you can go out and swim. Being that it is a dog beach, it isn't as well kept as the beaches in S.Beach, and has more trash then I would like to see, but it doesn't bother me too much. It doesn't prevent you from walking around and swimming, it is just here and there.
