"Stunning beach, but can be crowded. Clean sand & water, great amenities, but parking is tough. Lively atmosphere, tons of restaurants nearby."
South Beach is a popular, high-energy beach with good amenities but can be very crowded, especially during peak times. Water activities are available, but the water conditions are not consistently calm, making it more suitable for older children and adults. Parking is difficult to find. Overall, it is a great beach for a visit but not ideal for complete seclusion.
