Miami's most popular anchor destination is the defining stop on every Surfside boat rental and yacht charter. Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park is immediately adjacent to the sandbar, putting the shallow turquoise anchorage under 10 minutes by water from the dock. Morning charters from Surfside arrive before the weekend crowd builds, giving groups the calmest water and the most anchor space. Swimming, floating, and bar service at anchor are the standard midday activities. View Haulover Sandbar charter details.

Haulover Inlet is less than one mile from the Surfside northern boundary and connects the Intracoastal Waterway to the open Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantic is used for offshore reef snorkeling, open-ocean cruising, and sunset charters exiting the inlet as the sky fades behind the Collins Avenue tower row.
