Miami Beach has so many running spots and this one is one of the newest ones. You can park at South Pointe Park at one of the metered spaces but get their early because spots can be scarce as the day goes on. This park has Miami Beach’s only mountain, fine … ok hill! I like starting my run at the top of the hill as I take in the sights on the observation deck. By the way, this is also a good place to end your run because there are some deck chairs to chill out and rest a bit. From this spot you can head along Government Cut passing the popular Smith & Wollensky restaurant. This path then links you with the Baywalk along the Miami Beach Marina. The path ends at the base of the MacArthur Causeway. If I am inspired to go longer and take in some of the views from the MacArthur Causeway I might go over the bridge and turn around at Terminal Isle, which is where the Fisher Island Ferry departs. Don’t go past the Ferry Terminal because it can get a bit hectic to run along the actual Causeway’s bike lane without a sidewalk.
