Miami Beach parks are generally open from sunrise to sunset. Public beaches are closed from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM under City Code Section 82-2. Persons found on beaches during closed hours face citations. Specific parks may have extended hours for programmed activities.
Miami Beach parks generally operate from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted. The city's public beaches are governed by Section 82-2 of the Miami Beach Code, which closes beaches from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Violations of beach curfew are addressed under Section 82-3. Individual parks may have different posted hours depending on programming — lighted athletic facilities and recreation centers may operate into evening hours. Lummus Park (along Ocean Drive) and South Pointe Park have specific posted hours. The beach curfew is actively enforced by the Miami Beach Police Department, particularly along South Beach. During special events (such as Spring Break periods), the city has historically imposed enhanced curfew measures including midnight general curfews. Parks and Recreation can be contacted at 305-604-CITY (2489). MBPD non-emergency is (305) 673-7900.
Being on the beach between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM violates Section 82-2 and may result in a citation. Remaining in parks after posted closing hours is a trespass violation. During declared emergencies with enhanced curfews, violations carry heightened penalties including arrest. MBPD enforces beach curfew regularly.
