Bal Harbour Beach is an idyllic destination boasting white, powdery sand and the glistening waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The beautiful beach stretches one mile along Bal Harbour Village, an exclusive enclave on the northern part of Miami Beach. The destination offers a tranquil alternative to busier areas elsewhere in the city.
The beach is a haven for couples, families, locals, and vacationers looking to escape to the ultimate relaxing retreat. Bordered by the Haulover Inlet to the north and by Surfside at 96th Street to the south, this scenic destination offers a picturesque setting to bask in the Florida sun or enjoy energizing runs along the shore.

Bal Harbour Beach highlights
When it comes to fun at Bal Harbour Beach, along with the waters of the ocean for swimming, there is an inviting jetty. The small pier is ideal for fishing and taking in views of the boats at sea. Nearby, the Beach Walk path attracts active types drawn to the surroundings for their jog, walk, or bike ride.
Although Bal Harbour Beach is free and open to the public, visitors who want more of a luxury experience with cabanas and other amenities may opt to check-in to one of the oceanfront hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour Miami, The St.Regis Bal Harbour Resort, or the Sea View Hotel.
Good to know when visiting Bal Harbour Beach
If driving to visit Bal Harbour Beach, it’s important to keep in mind that parking can be challenging. There is metered public parking underneath the bridge that connects Bal Harbour to Haulover Beach for those not staying at one of the oceanfront hotels. Also, there are no public facilities and lifeguards at the beach itself.
After a day at Bal Harbour Beach, there is plenty to experience, including watching the sunset. If you are there earlier and want to explore, head to the Bal Harbour Shops or one of the nearby restaurants to enjoy a memorable meal.
