North Shore Open Space Park is one of Miami Beach's largest public parks, spanning 36 acres along the district's stunning Atlantic Ocean coastline in an area that is much less populated with urban development than most of the city. The park stretches along Collins Avenue between 79th and 87th Streets, showcasing beautiful native coastal hammock wildlife and dune formations. A beach walk extends between the park and nearby Allison Park, with children's playgrounds and outdoor exercise equipment scattered throughout the park. Public showers, restrooms, picnic tables, and day-use pavilions are offered, with barbecue grills available for visitor use. Dogs are permitted within the park, although they are forbidden to enter beachfront areas.
