Miami Beach Boardwalk 8.9 km Run From Lummus Park With Beach Showers
Updated October 12, 2026
A paved Beachwalk and a raised wooden boardwalk run behind the dunes of Miami Beach for miles, and this out and back of about 8.9 km follows them north from Lummus Park to Indian Beach Park at 46th Street. It starts and ends at the public restrooms at 14th Street, with free beach showers on the sand.
Miami Beach keeps a public path along almost its whole oceanfront, so you can run from the Art Deco hotels of South Beach to the towers of Mid-Beach without crossing a road. This run starts in Lummus Park, where the City of Miami Beach runs public restrooms at 14th Street and Ocean Drive, with beach wash stations nearby. No gym is needed. Run in what you will wear on the beach, rinse off at the outdoor showers, then change in the restrooms. Bring a small bag with dry clothes and a towel, and keep your phone and card on you. If you want a proper shower and a locker, Gymage on Lincoln Road sells a visitor day pass, as of October 2026 for $25. The path has almost no shade, so go early or late and carry water.

The run: Lummus Park to Mid-Beach on the Beachwalk and Boardwalk
It stays beside the ocean the whole way, flat and free of traffic, and it shows two sides of Miami Beach, the low Art Deco hotels of South Beach and the towers of Mid-Beach. Free restrooms and beach showers at the start mean you can run, swim and rinse off without paying for a gym.

- 8.9 km (5.5 mi)
- Start
- Lummus Park Beach
Start at the public restrooms in Lummus Park at 14th Street and Ocean Drive. Cross the park to the beach path and turn left, heading north on the Beachwalk, the paved path behind the dunes, with the ocean on your right. Pass the end of Lincoln Road and Collins Park at 21st Street. Beyond it, the path becomes the Mid-Beach Boardwalk, a raised walkway with hotel pools and condo towers on your left. Follow it north to Indian Beach Park at 46th Street, about 4.4 km from the start, and turn around. Retrace the same path south to 14th Street. Rinse off at a beach shower by the lifeguard towers, then change in the restrooms. To shorten it, turn around at 21st Street for about 3 km in all. Cyclists share the paved stretches, so keep right.
