About
North Shore Open Space Park's 81st St. Access is a public beach access point in Miami Beach, Florida, about a mile from the town of Surfside. It's a straightforward place to reach the sand, with restrooms, parking and lifeguards on duty, and a fee is charged. The mildest stretch of the year runs from December through April, when typical highs at a nearby Miami Beach weather station sit in the mid-70s to around 80°F and rain falls on about five or six days a month. Summer and early fall are hotter and wetter, with highs near 88°F and roughly 13 to 14 wet days a month from June through September. For a change from the beach, Oleta River State Park Trail is about 3 miles away, and Alice Wainwright Park, a climbing area, lies just under 10 miles off.
