Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is Miami's best beach, according to you, our readers.
Why it matters: Our beaches are why so many of us live in South Florida — and they bring in gobs of tourism money ever year.
State of play: Bill Baggs narrowly beat out South Pointe Park Beach with 53% of the vote in the final round.
What they're saying: "Who wants to see cruise ships at the beach? Much prettier are native plants, shady shelters, and a beautiful long stretch of sand for walking and enjoying the view," reader Suzanne K., who voted for Bill Baggs, wrote to Axios.
- "Oh yes and the water! Can't be beat."
The bottom line: Bill Baggs is a favorite for a reason: It has the historic Cape Florida Lighthouse, bicycle and hiking trails, overnight anchoring and paddleboard rentals.
- It's also home to The Cleat, one of the best waterfront bars for catching a famous South Florida sunset (in our opinion).
