Hidden On Miami's Coast Is A Spectacular Florida Beach Park With Unrivaled City Skyline Views

While in Miami, before heading to the clubs and experiencing one of America's best cities for nightlife, many spend the day at scenic beaches, like Virginia Key, to soak up the sunshine along the coast. One hidden gem beach that has awe-inspiring views of Miami's incredible skyline is Hobie Beach. It's only a 15-minute drive from the famous Bayside Marketplace, an open-air mall providing waterfront dining, shops, and entertainment. 

At Hobie, there are postcard views of the South Florida city's downtown, where you can watch the high-rises illuminate the sky as the sun sets. The area has remarkable cityscapes because the shoreline sits along Rickenbacker Causeway, which connects Miami to the islands of Virginia Key and Key Biscayne. From sun up to sun down, the views are so magnificent, you'll feel like you're on a fictional movie set. After all, they call it the Magic City for a reason.

The coastal shoreline is so much more than its beautiful scenery. It's also a dog-friendly beach that has received multiple four- and five-bone reviews on Bring Fido, so you'll never have to worry about leaving your furry friend home to enjoy a day on the water. One activity in particular that makes Hobie Beach so popular is windsurfing. The Miami Watersports: Sailing Center is along the way, so you can rent your equipment and start sailing. Then, cross the causeway to get an elite Instagram-worthy shot of the skyline as the sun goes down.

Due to the location's proximity to Miami Watersports: Sailing Center, Hobie Beach adopted the nickname "Windsurfer Beach." Visitors love to sail the aqua seas with a postcard view of Miami behind them, and when you have a natural luxury such as this one in your backyard, it's hard not to. Additionally, the shop also offers one-hour beginner-level lessons, even if you have never tried it before.

Aside from windsurfing, you can do other activities, such as wing surfing, Hobie Cat sailing, and jet skiing to have an adventure with all your friends. They also have paddleboarding and banana boat rides, giving the perfect balance between relaxing and exhilarating. After a heart-pumping experience on the water, you can head to the off-road concession stands for a bite to eat. The best part of all, especially in a city like Miami, is that parking is free with no time limit. At Hobie, you can have a stress-free day for as long as you'd like!

With a sandy stretch, aqua blues, sunny skies, and, of course, palm trees, Hobie Beach is favored by the public. But its luxurious natural landscape isn't the only reason locals and tourists come here. It's also because of its relational distance to Downtown Miami. Hobie is close enough to the main Miami areas, including Brickell City Center and Bayside, allowing visitors to get a taste of a vibrant city. However, it is also far enough from those locations that it's not very crowded. 

Exciting places around Hobie include Miami Seaquarium, Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Ultimately, Hobie Beach is a serene coast where you can fan out your towel and catch some rays or hop on a sailboat and catch some thrills. Plus, coming here will give you one of the most iconic views of the Magic City.
