Where to Find a Quiet Beach in Miami Beach: Our Stretch of Sand in North Beach

Go to the north end of the island

The quieter sand is at the north end. We're at 7418 Harding Avenue in North Beach, and out the gate toward the ocean the Atlantic opens along Miami Beach Oceanside Park. It's the beach we send our own guests to, and it's a few minutes on foot. This is the slower Miami.

What we set up for you on the sand

If you're staying with us, sunbeds and umbrellas are part of your stay. There's no reservation and no extra charge. Bring a book and almost nothing else. We are not on the sand ourselves, and that short walk is deliberate: the street noise stays on one side, the courtyard stays on the other.

How we'd spend a beach day here

Start early. Our courtyard pool opens at sunrise, so a swim at 8am before the heat sets in, then breakfast at The Breakfast Table, then the beach while the sand is still cool. On the walk back you pass open-air cafés and small galleries. If the afternoon turns to wandering, Bal Harbour Shops and Surfside sit just next door to the neighborhood. The pool stays open until sunset for a last swim.

A few things to know

We welcome guests aged 12 and up. The pool and The Gym & Sauna are reserved for people staying with us; we don't sell day passes. Someone at The Desk That Never Sleeps is awake at any hour if you need directions to the sand or a towel at 6am.
