Fun Facts
Haulover Beach Park spans a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, offering both ocean beaches and calm bay access.
The park's marina is one of Miami-Dade's most popular sportfishing departures — wahoo, sailfish, and mahi-mahi are commonly caught offshore.
Haulover has one of the few designated off-leash dog beaches in Miami-Dade County, making it a top destination for dog owners.
The Haulover Inlet, flanked by the park, is one of the busiest boat inlets in South Florida, with hundreds of vessels passing through daily.
On windy days, the park's open beach becomes a hub for kite flying and kite surfing, drawing enthusiasts from across South Florida.
