About Matheson Hammock Park

Matheson Hammock Park is a beloved Miami-Dade County park situated along the shores of Biscayne Bay in Coral Gables. Its most distinctive feature is the man-made atoll pool, a wading beach that is flushed naturally by the tides of Biscayne Bay, creating calm, warm waters perfect for families with young children. The park spans over 600 acres and includes a marina, nature trails winding through tropical hardwood hammocks and mangroves, picnic areas with bay views, and a popular kiteboarding launch area. Red Fish Grill, the park's waterfront restaurant, is a local favorite for its fresh seafood and stunning sunset views over the bay. The park's unique blend of recreational amenities and natural beauty makes it one of the most cherished green spaces in Miami.
