I do not like this site!~!!I could not find any info 2 use!!!
Sorry to hear that. What were you looking 2 use? Let me take a guess...You wanted info about Miami Beaches?
Want a price listing of pavillion rentals on Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.
Hi Dee.
I made some calls and depending upon the size and location of the pavillion, the ones in Crandon Park (Key Biscayne) run between $75-$150. There are a few rules/regulations- please message me so that I may forward them to you.
I’m still awaiting the Miami Beach info.
Are you looking to plan a party or corporate event?
I have a portable grill and I was wondering if people are allowed to grill on the beach
Kind of along the same lines but are you allowed to have a campfire on the beach? Of course, we would clean up afterward and bring our own materials. Thanks
Ameia, I’m not aware of any beaches in Miami where campfires are permitted on the beach.
Angie, now that South Pointe Park is closed, the closest beach where you can bring a portable BBQ is at North Shore Park (approximately 72nd and Collins). I should mention, the BBQ facilities are not on the beach, but at the park which is about 75 yards away from the sand.
I don’t like MM.
Hawaii - that’s great. Really ocean with really SERVICE!
