Miami offers a diverse array of walking environments, ranging from coastal boardwalks to lush tropical hammocks. The most iconic route is the Miami Beach Boardwalk, which stretches for miles along the Atlantic, offering stunning ocean views and cooling breezes. For a more nature-oriented trek, the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park (about 45 minutes from the city) provides a world-class boardwalk experience over sawgrass marshes where you can safely spot alligators and herons. Within the city, South Pointe Park offers a beautiful paved loop at the southern tip of Miami Beach, perfect for watching cruise ships depart. If you prefer a jungle vibe, Matheson Hammock Park features trails through ancient mangroves and hardwood forests. For 2026 visitors, the newly expanded Underline—a linear park beneath the Metrorail—provides a modern, urban walking experience filled with public art and native landscaping, connecting the Brickell area to southern neighborhoods in a vibrant, car-free environment.
