About Homestead Bayfront

The southernmost beach on this list sits at Convoy Point, beside the headquarters of Biscayne National Park. A sheltered atoll pool on Biscayne Bay gives calm swimming, and Herbert Hoover Marina next door is a launch point for the national park's reefs.

It is far from the hotel strips, cheap to park at and rarely busy, with a seafood grill on site. Pair it with the national park's visitor centre next door.
