Virginia Key Beach

Historic Virginia Key Beach was once known as the only beach in Miami that could be used by African-Americans. Today, it is simply one of many beautiful stretches of sand and surf available for picnics and swimming by all locals and tourists alike. A miniature train was built decades ago to transport visitors around the area and an antique Allan Herschel carousel still remains on site. Virginia Key Beach is often used as an event space, and there is an event meadow, a pavilion, and a dance floor as well as several shelters available for rent. Two playgrounds are also located near the beach for children to play at.
