North Miami Beach is a busy, diverse residential city in northeast Miami-Dade County, set between I-95 and the Intracoastal Waterway. It no longer has a beach of its own, but it does have one of the most unusual landmarks in South Florida, a medieval Spanish monastery, plus easy access to parks, paddling and the ocean just across the water.
Where is North Miami Beach?
North Miami Beach sits in the northeast corner of Greater Miami, bordered by Aventura to the northeast, North Miami to the southeast and Miami Gardens to the west, with Sunny Isles Beach across the Intracoastal. I-95 runs along its northwest edge and US 1 (Biscayne Boulevard) crosses the east side. The city was first platted in 1881 as Fulford-by-the-Sea and took its current name in 1931. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Miami International airports are each roughly 25 to 30 minutes away, depending on traffic.
Things to do in North Miami Beach
The Ancient Spanish Monastery, the Church of St. Bernard de Clairvaux on West Dixie Highway, is a 12th-century cloister that William Randolph Hearst bought in Spain and that was reassembled here in the 1950s. Greynolds Park has shaded picnic areas, a lake and a rock mound with views over the trees, and East Greynolds Park sits along the Oleta River. Oleta River State Park, off NE 163rd Street, is the largest urban park in Florida, with mountain bike trails, kayaking in the mangroves and a small beach on the bay. NE 167th Street is known locally for its many Asian-owned businesses, and the city has a sizable Haitian American community. For the ocean, drive east on NE 163rd Street (Sunny Isles Boulevard) to the public beaches in Sunny Isles Beach.
