Miami has a few things to make sure your dates are not only romantic, but also friendly on your budget. Below you’ll find our roundup of always free and cheap date ideas.

Parks

We have many beautiful parks all over the city, but one in particular is great for dates: South Pointe Park on Miami Beach. It’s open as late as 2 a.m., has great views (including an observation deck and views of the bay by Fisher Island) and is wonderful for both daytime and nighttime dates. South Pointe Park is located at 1 Washington Ave. Miami Beach, FL 33139.
