Four Best Picnic Spots in Miami

While the beautiful beaches are what draw most tourists to the magic city and the Keys, there are many other attractions in Miami that will ensure that there is never a dull moment to your visit. To see the city at your own pace, get with the hop-on-hop-off bus tours that allow you to alight the bus whenever you find something interesting you'd like to explore, and then hop back on when you're ready to sightsee some more.

The 'Magic City' has something to offer everyone who comes here including a chance to enjoy a fun picnic out in the sun. The warm, tropical climate of Miami is best enjoyed while lounging on a picnic blanket. Whether it is a fun-filled day with the entire family, or a romantic picnic-for-two, Miami has it all. Here are the top five spots to enjoy a scenic picnic.

1. A.D. "Doug" Barnes Park


A.D. Barnes Park's has it all – amazing opportunities for bird watching, plenty of pine trees and a spacious, lush landscape. The National Audubon Society has specially designed the park to be a haven for many species of migrating birds. It is one of the very few pine rock lands in the Miami-Dade County. You can enjoy a delightful picnic here under a shady pine tree. Who knows? Maybe you'll even see some wildlife too. The park has a nature center as well as a heated pool besides the picnic shelters.

2. South Pointe Park


South Pointe Park's view is what makes it an ideal spot for a picnic. It is right at the Southernmost point of Miami Beach and has spectacularly romantic views of the Port of Miami and the pristine waters that surround it. You can lounge on your picnic blanket and watch the ships go by during the day. In the evening, the gentle cool breezes and glistening water will lull you into relaxation-mode. There is also a play area for kids and an interactive water display.

3. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park


Bill Baggs has many covered picnic areas as well as pavilion rentals on offer for visitors to spend a fun day at this beachside park. It is perfect for large groups of people and people with families. You can enjoy an intimate, cozy picnic with that special someone while gazing out into the open ocean of the Atlantic. The park also allows you to hike, fish, and go on many nature trails. You can also get a guided tour of the lighthouse to add to the fun.

4. Tropical Park


Tropical Park is an expansive piece of landscape where you can choose to picnic either on a traditional picnic table or a covered pavilion which offers great views of the park. There is also a man-made bench along with a large playground which offers great entertainment options for the whole family. Burn off your post-picnic calories with a game of basketball, tennis or horse riding. This park is pet-friendly.
