With the sun getting closer to setting past 7 p.m., now is the time to start catching the sunset a few times a week. With the Miami cityscape and beautiful Biscayne Bay as our backyard, sunsets in the Magic City are something unique.
Watching the sunset with its beautiful and refreshing colors alongside the magnificent Miami backdrop is truly magical. From south to north, we have found the best locations to watch the sunsets, 365 days a year.
1 Washington Ave.
South Pointe Park is one of South Beach’s most scenic destinations, adorned with beautiful landscaping of trees, the beach and South of Fifth high-rises. Whether you’re looking to watch the sunset as you sit alongside the sandy beaches, or grab a seat at one of the benches along the walking path, South Pointe Park’s views are some of the best in town.
Old Rickenbacker Cswy.
Right off the Rickenbacker Causeway over towards Key Biscayne sits Hobie Island Beach Park, with some of the most unmatched views in the city in a very private location. With a perfect unobstructed view of the Brickell skyline, watching the sunset from Hobie Island Beach Park is glistening, as the sun sets behind the beautiful skyline.
