Know Before You Go
Your Guide to Haulover
South Florida's most iconic boat party destination
About the Area
The Haulover area — encompassing Haulover Beach Park, the Haulover Inlet, and the legendary Haulover Sandbar — is ground zero for Miami's boating party scene. On weekends, hundreds of boats anchor at the sandbar in waist-deep turquoise water, creating an open-air floating party with food boats, music, and endless socializing.
On the Water
The sandbar itself is a shallow bank of white sand in Biscayne Bay where the water is waist-deep and crystal clear. Floating food and drink boats circulate through the anchored fleet. The atmosphere ranges from calm and family-friendly on weekdays to full-on party mode on weekends.
The sandbar area is shallow (2-4 feet) and calm — perfect for wading, swimming, and anchoring. The nearby Haulover Inlet connects to the ocean and can have stronger currents, especially during tidal changes. Your captain will navigate the inlet safely.
The sandbar is the destination itself. From the nearest marinas, you are at the sandbar in 5-15 minutes. Bal Harbour is adjacent. North Miami Beach is right onshore.
Getting There
The Haulover area is on Collins Avenue (A1A) between Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach. Parking at Haulover Beach Park costs $7 per vehicle. Rideshare from Miami Beach takes 15-20 minutes.
What Guests Love
- Anchoring in turquoise, waist-deep water surrounded by boats and music
- Floating food boats that deliver seafood, drinks, and snacks to your yacht
- The social scene — meeting people from boats all around you
- Crystal-clear water perfect for swimming, floating, and water toys
- The freedom to wade between boats in shallow, warm water

Before & After Your Charter
- Visit Haulover Beach Park for beach time before or after your sandbar trip
- Shop and dine in Bal Harbour, one of Miami's most exclusive retail destinations
- Explore Oleta River State Park for a quieter nature experience nearby
Insider Tips
- Weekday sandbar visits (Tuesday-Thursday) offer the sandbar experience without the weekend crowds — you may have entire sections to yourself.
- Floating food boat vendors accept cash and sometimes card — bring both. Popular items include stone crab, ceviche, and frozen drinks.
- Your captain knows the best anchoring spots. Arriving before 11 AM on weekends secures a prime position near the action.
Sport boats (26-37 feet) are the most popular sandbar vessels — they're nimble, fun, and easy to anchor in shallow water. The Axopar 37 and Crownline 26 are top picks.
