DRIVING DIRECTIONS
Note: If you wish to use an Internet map/driving direction service,
use: 10800 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL, 33154 as the destination
address for Haulover Beach Park.
The recommended routes are traced in green on the map at right.
>From the North:
Take Interstate 95 south to Ives Dairy Road, which is 8 miles south of
Interstate 595 & the Ft. Lauderdale airport. At Ives Dairy Road, exit
and go east 1.2 miles to US-1. Turn right (south) onto US-1. Move into
the left-hand lane, because in 0.6 miles you will need to turn left
(east) onto SR 856, William Lehman Causeway. (However, be careful to
avoid the left turn lanes into the Aventura Mall before the causeway
turn.) Go east 1.6 miles and exit south onto A1A. Go 1.6 miles to SR
826 and continue south underneath the overpass. In 0.8 miles you will
just barely notice the signs on the right for North Beach Parking, the
first parking lot in the park.
[Some may prefer the simpler route of taking US-1 farther south to SR
826 and then heading east. This avoids the need to cross 4 lanes of
mall-bound traffic in 0.6 miles to make the Lehman Causeway turn; the
advantage of the causeway route is that it is a high overpass with no
drawbridge over the Intracoastal. In any case, if you miss the causeway
turn, just keep going south to SR 826 and turn left.]
>From the South:
Take I-95 or US-1 north to NW 125 Street (Route 922) and go east across
Broad Causeway (50 cent toll) to Collins Ave (AIA). Then turn left
(north) onto Collins Ave. In about a mile you will go over the bridge
over Baker's Haulover Cut. Proceed about 1.4 miles over the bridge,
past the marina, golf course and boat dock, to the North Beach Parking
lot on the left at the far north end of the park
