Matheson is nice. The atoll lagoon is replenished by the bay water and the sandy beach makes a circle around it. The views are nice of downtown Miami and this is THEE beach for kite surfers. The marina is right next door so if you want a more peaceful beach experience, you can walk over toward the grass and lay... More

Not to mention windsurfing, paddle boarding, etc. Ride your bike down Old Cutler among the mansions and then turn into a very natural setting with an adorable lagoon for swimming. More

Wow, they must've cut the park department in Coral Gables. This park has no security, the roads are flooded and potholed on the way out to the beach. While the picnic area of the park had people, the advertised "view" of miami was along a road overgrown by mangroves or some such thing. More
