A beautiful sandy stretch, Bal Harbour Beach is one of Bal Harbour's best sights. Rarely crowded, the beach makes the perfect spot for a fun day out. You can fish in the jetty, provided you bring your own equipment. There is even a palm-shaded jogging path that curves around the beach. Please take note, parking can be a problem since there is only limited metered parking beneath Haulover Bridge. There are no lifeguards in attendance or showers. You need to bring your towels and other creature comforts. This is one of the nicest beach experiences you can have around Miami, enjoy it!
