1. Virginia Key Beach Park

In 1945, Virginia Key Beach Park was established as Miami’s “Colored Only Beach.” With its sandy beaches and lively seaside scene, it quickly became a hub for tourists and local residents. After being closed for several decades, the 82-acre (33-hectare) beachfront park reopened in 2008 following a major restoration effort. Today, enjoy sun and sand as you celebrate the diverse communities that shaped Miami.
