Coral Gables: Matheson Hammock County Park - Atoll

The Atoll at Matheson Hammock County Park is a public beach access point within Matheson Hammock Park, about half a mile from Coral Gables, Florida. It is a staffed, developed spot rather than a remote stretch of sand: restrooms are on site, lifeguards are on duty, and the access is accessible for visitors with mobility needs. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable months. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Miami show January highs around 75°F with lows near 64°F and fewer rainy days. Summer and early fall bring highs near 89°F and roughly 12 to 15 wet days a month. A fee is charged to use the beach. Nearby, Alice Wainwright Park, about 6 miles away, offers rock climbing, and Biscayne Bay, around 8 miles off, is a saltwater fishing destination.
