36th Street Park is one of the quieter beach access points in Mid-Beach, Miami Beach. However, don’t be deceived by its name – in fact, it’s not a park and there isn’t much greenery; it’s just a parking lot with a couple of palm trees and access to the beach behind it.
The beach itself is wide, quiet, and beautiful – a nice place to relax near the sea without loud music and noisy companies who tend to occupy the beaches in front of Ocean Drive.
