Best Places for a Stroll
Five Brickell strolls: The Underline, a native hammock, Brickell Key, the Miami River edge, and Brickell City Centre.
Picked and checked by hand; updated when hours, venues, menus, or source pages change.
The Underline is the defining Brickell walk, a 10-mile linear park running beneath the Metrorail with promenades and art along the way. Go when you want a real stretch of legs that connects rather than loops.

The Brickell Key Baywalk is the waterfront-loop stroll, the only continuous island Baywalk in Miami across forty-four acres of green space. Go when you want water views the whole way around on a flat, easy path.

- Area: Brickell Key
- Specific: only continuous island Baywalk in Miami; 44 acres and 5,000+ trees

The Miami River edge near American Social is a short waterfront pause, not a formal trail. Keep it for a quick look at the water before or after a patio meal, then use The Underline or Brickell Key when you want an actual walk.
- Best when: a short riverside pause near a patio
- Area: Miami River, near American Social, Brickell
- Specific: short waterfront edge by the AMSO riverfront patio; not a formal public trail

Brickell City Centre is the indoor-walk option, with open-air-meets-covered shops and dining to wander. Use it when heat or rain makes a climate-controlled stroll the smarter call.
- Best when: a heat- or rain-day indoor walk
- Area: Brickell
- Specific: shops, dining, and indoor/outdoor walking space
