1. Sunrise at South Pointe Park

Start your day at the 17-acre South Pointe Park. Known for its panoramic views of the Atlantic and Government Cut, the park’s paved “Baywalk” is perfect for a morning jog. In 2026, it remains the best spot to watch the world’s largest cruise ships navigate the channel at dawn.

2. The Future of SoFi: Sant Ambroeus at The Fifth

Visit the corner of 5th and Michigan to see the neighborhood’s newest architectural landmark, The Fifth Miami Beach. While the building is currently finalizing its high-end office spaces, it is the future home of the legendary Milanese restaurant Sant Ambroeus. This destination is the most anticipated culinary arrival of 2026 for the SoFi district.

3. Yoga by the Tobias Rehberger Lighthouse

Join the community for free yoga sessions near the “Obstinate Lighthouse” sculpture. This 55-foot colorful landmark serves as the neighborhood’s artistic north star and the perfect backdrop for meditation at the southern tip of the park.

4. Iconic Dining at Joe’s Stone Crab

No visit to SoFi is complete without Joe’s Stone Crab. Celebrating over a century in the neighborhood, it remains a “must-do.” For a more casual vibe, grab a “Joe’s Take Away” and have a high-end picnic on the grass at South Pointe Park.

5. Transition at the Nikki Beach Site

The historic Nikki Beach site is currently undergoing a massive transformation. In 2026, you can see the progress of the redevelopment by the Boucher Brothers and Major Food Group, which is set to turn this oceanfront plot into a world-class culinary and wellness destination.

6. Stroll the South Pointe Pier

The 450-foot South Pointe Pier offers 360-degree views of the Miami skyline. It’s a favorite for photographers and one of the few places in Miami Beach where you can see the sunset dip directly into the water of Biscayne Bay.

7. Luxury Yacht Charters at Miami Beach Marina

Head to the Miami Beach Marina to charter a private yacht. Whether you’re looking for a sunset cruise or a day trip to the Bahamas, the marina is the gateway to Miami’s elite nautical lifestyle.

8. Sunset & Live Music at Monty’s Sunset

For a quintessential Miami vibe, grab a seat at Monty’s Sunset. Located poolside at the marina, it offers fresh raw bar offerings and the most famous Happy Hour in SoFi. Don’t miss their Live Music Schedule to see who is performing.

9. Culture at the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU

Located in two restored historic synagogues on Washington Ave, the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU is a hidden cultural gem. It offers a deep dive into the rich history of the community that shaped modern Miami Beach.

10. Indulge in “Bourbon & Beats” at South Pointe Tavern

For spirits enthusiasts, South Pointe Tavern remains the go-to. It boasts one of the largest collections of rare bourbon and tequila in Florida. It’s the neighborhood’s “living room”—upscale yet cozy.

11. New Landmark: The Fifth Street Pedestrian Bridge

Currently under construction with an expected completion in Summer/Fall 2026, the Fifth Street Pedestrian Bridge (designed by Daniel Buren) will be a kaleidoscopic masterpiece. Once finished, it will provide a seamless, art-filled connection between the SoFi Baywalk and the West Avenue neighborhood.

12. Water Sports at the Jetty

The area near the South Pointe jetty is the premier spot for surfing and jet skiing. In 2026, look for high-tech glides over the waves with eFoil USA, offering eco-friendly electric foil rentals for a unique perspective of the shoreline.

13. Elite Training at The Sporting Club

For those seeking a high-end workout strictly within the neighborhood, The Sporting Club at The Continuum is the definitive SoFi wellness destination. This three-story facility offers Olympic-grade equipment, a lap pool, and luxury spa services.

14. Off-Leash Fun at the SoFi Dog Park

SoFi is famously pet-friendly. The dedicated dog park at South Pointe is where the neighborhood’s most pampered pups socialize, featuring separate areas for small and large dogs.

15. The “Bay-to-Beach” Promenade Walk

Take the 4-mile continuous walk starting at the Miami Beach Marina, wrapping around the tip of the island, and ending on the sand. It is the best way to soak in the beauty of the “billionaire’s coastline.”

Tips for Visiting in 2026:

• Parking: Use the South Pointe Park garage or the Seventh Street garage for the best rates.
• Micro-Mobility: Use CitiBike stations located throughout SoFi to zip between the Marina and the beach.
