About Mid Beach

Mid Beach Park, listed by the city under its new name (it used to be Indian Beach Park), is a small park at 46th Street with a big fenced playground, restrooms and an on-site car park, right on the Beachwalk. The Fontainebleau and Eden Roc stand just to the south.

The sand is the same as South Beach's but the crowd is thinner: hotel guests, locals and families.
