Mid 1960's - the "South Beach" we remember, between the pier and the jetty

South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida view map


Thank you to Robert Bowman for contributing this great old image of the most popular beach for teens in Dade County in the 60's. This beach between the jetty and the fishing pier was packed with teens, surfers and skim boarders every weekend during the year and every day during the summers in the 1960's. The two-story parking garage offered close convenient parking at a reasonable fee and shade from the blazing sun on the first floor. The Miami Beach Kennel Club is on the left side. Life was great!
