About Samson Park

Samson Oceanfront Park is the city's best-equipped beach stop: a lifeguard station, restrooms and showers, a playground, sand volleyball and a performance stage, all set among the tall towers of Sunny Isles.

There's no car park on site; the nearest city lot is behind Walgreens on 175th Street. Swim inside the buoys, and leave the fishing rod for the pier: fishing from the city beach is banned.
