I am wondering if there are any actual beaches in Miami proper along Biscayne Bay? I am particulary thinking about the area from Coconut Grove south to Kendall.

I believe there is a very small beach in Matheson Hammock Park. Are there any others??? Thanks.

Matheson isn't even really a beach, and is technically in the Gables. The only beaches I can think of on Biscayne Bay are the private ones people have in their waterside mansions. Unless you want to count the ones on Key Biscayne, of course.

Thanks. I know Virginia Key, Key Biscayne, and Crandon Park. I was thinking actually "on the bay" from the "main" land side, not keys.

I think the answer to your question is no, there are no natural or public beaches on the mainland side. There is basically a seawall all up and down the coast, and where there isn't, there are native mangroves. There are some artificial beaches where there are large rocks separating the mini beach from the bay (like in the Keys)....but they are more like swimming pools (hotones at that).
