Home to Oleta River State Park – Florida's largest urban park – North Miami Beach brings nature into city life. Kayak or paddleboard through mangrove channels spotting wading birds, mountain bike or walk fifteen miles of trails through the protected estuary. The neighbourhood itself is not quite as polished as others, but offers a vibrant food scene, abundant green space, and a refreshingly relaxed pace over the loud and crowdered tourist scene to the South – making it appealing for families wanting sun, nature, and breathing room all in one place.
