شاطئ 12th Street Gay

Love coming to Miami Beach’s 12th Street Gay Beach ! The water is amazing here and the Pride flags are swaying in the wind alongside the beautiful pastel beach umbrella unique to 12th Street Gay Beach in Miami Beach. The pastel colored beach umbrellas even say Pride Beach on them. They also have a rainbow colored lifeguard station celebrating the vibrant gay community of Miami Beach’s South Beach also known as SoBe. The old #Versace mansion and world famous #PalaceGayBar is also near 12th Street Gay Beach and reminds us of the vibrant gay community and inclusivity Miami Beach’s South Beach has to offer. Many from WiltonManors are even coming back and relocating to Miami Beach. #PrideBeach #GayBeach #SoBe #MiamiGayBeach #MiamiBeachGayBeach #SouthBeachGayBeach #SoBeGay

It is a big public beach accessible from Ocean drive vast sands but swimming is difficult as the water of the ocean is cold even in hot days

Great wonderful beach with a lovely promenade next door. Was clean on the beach and nice in the water. We got sun loungers via our hotel, highly recommend!

Clean stretch of beach with clear water. Extremely hot in August and an umbrella is a must. We rented loungers on the gay section but all our welcome. Much quieter on this section.

A group of college friends and I descend on a city every year for MLB games and all the cultural things we can pack in - this year was Miami, with kids ranging in age from 5 to 14. An exchange between one of my friends and me: Friend: “I have such a better impression of South Beach here.” Me: “Why?” Friend: “No meatheads.” It was very friendly to kids and a wide variety of beachgoers. We went mid-morning on a Friday and it was empty, as it only began to fill in after noon. My only suggestion, bring everything you need if you can. Chair/umbrella rentals are inflexible (can’t be moved or separated) and can be costly - one set of two chairs and an umbrella was $70. But, big, wide beach!

Everything impeccable and clean. With well-defined entrances to the beach, they take care of the dunes with their flora and fauna. Everything is very nice

I didn't find it spectacular compared to El Farito, this one is much busier, everything around it is very expensive, it doesn't generate as much tranquility.

This is a huge beach, a massive stretch of sand that runs from the hotels, nice hotels, out to the sea. Lots of space so the beach does not get crowded. It is beautiful.

Huge beach of very clear sand, very warm water in August. There are many showers available on the seafront.

I loved All of it. They had huge trucks and machines on the beach, pushing the sand up like a mountain. Blocking a big portion but we decided to go to the other side. I guess they were rebuilding the beach.

It is the only legal public social outdoor venue for genuine naturists, yet the racial profiling and legal pooling of non genuine black males is disheartening. Instead of genuine straight talk, 3 Miami Dade policemen drive up looking, two behind my beach tent and umbrella. One female cop, they all on 4 wheelers, drove by my tent while looking around and stop to ask me if my cup was glass 🙄. I laughed, picked up my cup and tapped on it. Her and the other two policemen drove north. A white woman came to me after they drove off and said did they ask if you cup was glass, shaking her head said sure…no one else was asked only me, a black male! Simply share what you are looking for… Another black guy near me (who I have food and water) they found and harassed him-5 policemen and beach patrol confronts him. Eventually they all walk away and don’t arrest him or ask him to leave. The beach patrol comes to him and tells him repeatedly he is good. It is obvious the black gentleman is not okay. He is taking to himself and asking politely for food. Instead of providing him genuine assistance they just walk away while he continue to hold a full conversation with himself. A true lack of law enforcement civil duty not only to protect but to HELP!

A beach where you can swim without clothes. Plenty of space, a lovely atmosphere, a beautiful beach, and all this in a considerate manner.

I had a great time at the beach however the food options are very limited, all they sell is hot dogs and tacos.......

Its a nude beach ⛱️ what else do you need

Public beach with plenty of paid parking available. Well maintained beach with life guards on duty. Bathrooms available. Beach chairs and umbrellas available to rent.

The beach was very clean

Fist time there, it was a nice experience, first, plenty of parking and reasonable rate, beach nice and a calid atmosphere, we will come back..

Nice beach, I liked it

Miami-Dade boast this gem of a beach. If you know you know, but one of South Florida’s premier and world renowned beach’s is Haulover Beach. The more northern section of the beach is clothing optional. The water is usually beautiful hues of blue from a turquoise to an emerald like color. The temp is usually 75 and above getting into high 90s during the summer. I found freedom on this beach, I suggest you check it out too!!!

Wonderful experience 😎
