Best Places for a Stroll

Five Brickell strolls: The Underline, a native hammock, Brickell Key, the Miami River edge, and Brickell City Centre.

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.

  • Best when: a long, connected linear-park walk
  • Area: Brickell, Miami
  • Specific: 10-mile linear park and urban trail; promenades, art, and wellness spaces

Simpson Park Hammock is the quiet-nature stroll, a preserved patch of old-growth tropical hammock in the middle of the city. Go when you want shade and birdsong a few steps off the Brickell grid.

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.

The Miami River edge near American Social is the short waterfront-pause option, a quick riverside stretch tied to the AMSO patio rather than a formal trail. Go when you want a brief walk by the water with a drink or meal at the end.

Brickell City Centre is the indoor-walk option, three open-air-meets-covered levels of shops and dining to wander. Go when heat or rain makes a climate-controlled stroll the smarter call.
