Haulover Beach (Clothing Optional Section) — Attraction in Sunny Isles Beach

LOTS OF CREEPS

I love haulover, it’s a very clean beach, water is amazing, there’s a decent section of beach that’s nude friendly, HOWEVER this doesn’t stop creeps and weirdos from coming here, if you can make sure you bring someone to accompany you (preferably someone who Will say something if they see it) Ladies please beware of people trying to offer you drinks!! almost everytime I come someone tries to offer me a drink, and it’s common sense not to take drinks from strangers but they don’t try that for No reason. There’s a great food truck right on the nude side they have great food and drinks (no alcohol so bring your own)I would also recommend to try to bring some sort of tent, people have become VERY comfortable walking nearly full clothed and pretend to be on the phone just to walk past you back and forth recording you, people do this as well with their phone cameras sticking out of their socks so just watch your surroundings, it can take a lot of the fun and relaxing out of it . I used to come almost every day and at this point I can only do so much to keep myself safe and comfortable. Confinement isn’t what I should have to do to avoid being harassed. I hate that people act like this it’s super uncomfortable and unfair to others. The beach is also SUPER PACKED maybe I just haven’t been at the right times recently but it’s been CHEEK TO CHEECK LITERALLY! I’ve noticed by the walkways people clearly have been peeing non stop and it smells HORRIBLE, have some decency and courtesy if you don’t wanna walk to the bathroom go in the water! People bring their own music here so being so close to all different types of music styles on top of eachother can be annoying. Like I said , I love this beach! It’s such a nice escape from things, as for all good things though, people don’t respect it how it should...

Wonderful place to spend the day! No judgements given! All types and sorts of people were there and either enjoying time as couples, groups of friends, or individually. No sleazy vibes.

The beach itself is nice and wide. Plenty of room to spread out. The water is clear and relatively clean (aside from some seaweed). When I went a hurricane had blown through the week before so there were some dead jellyfish in the surf right at the water line. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THEM! Obviously avoid them going in and coming out, but once you're a few feet in/shoulder deep it clears up entirely. There were people in the water all day and not a single sting was seen. TONS of small shells and coral pieces to collect if you are in to that.

The middle of the beach has chairs and umbrellas to rent. $20 for an umbrella. They take apple/android pay.

My only complaint was about the parking. The lots are NOT close and require walking a couple of blocks to get to. There are additional underpasses and parking areas closer by, but they are closed off for no good reason. Most just full of construction storage with pipes and such filling up good spots. The southernmost lot is free to park, the northernmost open lot was pay to park. Really cheap, but still feels predatory.

Overall a great time to be had guaranteed. Let your tan lines melt away and enjoy nature au natural. A new favorite...

So let me start by saying—nude beaches aren’t really my thing. But my bestie had to check out Haulover, and I’m so glad I came along. The vibe? Super relaxed and friendly. People were doing their own thing, nobody was creepy or weird, and most importantly—no one gave me side-eye for staying covered. It felt like a judgment-free zone, which I definitely appreciated.

There was a food truck nearby with hamburgers, nachos, maybe even pizza? I didn’t eat, but I did grab one of their frozen lemonades and whew—it was delicious and perfect for that Florida sun.

Oh, and while the signs say “no alcohol,” apparently if you bring your own cooler… nobody’s checking.

All in all, 10/10 for a chill, carefree beach day—even if you’re not about that...
