Haulover Nude Beach is the clothing-optional section of Haulover Beach Park, a public beach in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. Nudity is allowed but not required — visitors can choose to be clothed or nude in the designated area.
It’s a public clothing-optional (nude) beach, officially recognized and sanctioned by local authorities.
The nude section occupies about the northern 0.4 miles (0.6 km) of the ~1.5-mile (2.4 km) Haulover Beach shoreline.
Signage makes it clear where the clothing-optional area begins, and lifeguards and beach volunteers help newcomers understand the etiquette.

People of all ages and backgrounds visit for sunbathing and swimming without swimwear if they choose.
It’s known for being friendly and respectful, with amenities like restrooms, showers, concessions, and lifeguards.
Despite its reputation, it remains a public family-friendly beach, and clothing is optional only in the designated section — the rest of Haulover Beach is regular swimwear-required.
The clothing-optional area was first established in the early 1990s through local naturist advocacy and later officially recognized by Miami-Dade County.
It’s one of the most well-known and visited nude beaches in the United States and often ranks among the world’s top nude beaches.
