Bear Cut Sandbar at Bear Cut Preserve in Crandon Beach is less popular than the ones at Haulover and Nixon Beach, so it’s beloved among locals as one of Miami’s most beautiful secret getaways. Located just where Biscayne Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, close to downtown and South Beach, the Bear Cut Sandbar is part of a protected park and beach area and is accessible only by boat, kayak, or paddleboard.
This Sandbar attracts families and off-the-beaten-path explorers, including divers and snorkeling aficionados who love to explore the nearby sunken ship treasures and coral reefs.
