Homestead Bayfront Park Marina

I’ve been coming to this park for over 20 years. They’ve cleaned it up real nice and even built a building and added more bathrooms, space available for rental for parties or what have you and a nice restaurant with a nice view of the ocean. They have their own private beach, a marina, a small store for things like ice, soda, chips, etc., they have spaces around the beach or the big tiki hut available for party rentals to. We use to come here and have bbq’s with the family and picnics with friends and of course fishing. This park really has alot to do. Next time i must bring my bike so I can really enjoy the park fully.
We came here for their once a year classic car event and man was I impressed. Now I must be honest and say I didn’t know anything about classic cars at first, but then I met My Love (we were teenagers) and he grew up around classics and now I have a new found love for them. I really appreciate the body work and structure and the beautiful interior and colors. I fell in love with an old Chevy truck that had a matte finish, never seen that before. It was so clean and pretty, I can so see myself driving that bad boy. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, mosquitos still hiding, and the breeze was just right. There was an awesome band for entertainment, a bounce house for the kids, an ice cream truck, vendors selling jewelry (the silver was beautiful and he let me know it came straight from Peru) plants, cool looking recycled can wind chimes and they even had a first aid stand just in case someone slipped or something. There was also bbq and roasted corn for sale. It was also great day to be with your family and loved ones. We really enjoyed just walking around and taking pics, enjoying the music and enjoying the cold drinks. This park is just such a nice spot to relax and to enjoy the outdoors. The view alone is breathtaking!

In my opinion there’s nothing better than being out on the water with my family on a beautiful day. That said, getting there can sometimes be a challenge. For those that have braved the circus that is black point, I offer up this southern gem.
Bayfront Marina is a bit out-​of-​the-​way but well worth the extra drive. The ramps are ample, well paved and the docks are in great condition. Parking is sufficient and easy to pull in and out of, far better than black point. This marina may not be as nice as Matheson hammock, but it is very nice nevertheless.
The channel is a bit long but it is wide and well marked. The ride out to Elliot key is pretty straightforward as is the trek to Caesar’s Creek. Monday through Thursday ramp fees are $ 11 and Friday through Sunday it increases to $ 16. We like to get there early and beat the crowd. Even at its busiest this place is never as crazy as black point.
The gas station has bait and offers a boat US discount on fuel.
Give this place a try you might never go back to Blackpoint again except to eat at the ocean grill :)

Nice place to come with the family for a picnic and or fish. We launch the kayaks from here and the trails are amazing. They have little BBQ grills and picnic tables everywhere and just an all around great atmosphere.

The first and only time I visited was to enjoy some delicious Mexican food at the Mexican Joint on the second floor and it was a fine time.

This is where I come to lunch my boat whether I am fishing or going to Elliot Key. From here Elliot and other keys are a short distance. I recently found out they have a shuttle to Elliot and Kayak rentals. This area around the marina is nice. You will see alot of aquatic wild life if kayaking around. Alot of people picnic here I personally never have but its seems like a nice spot.

Great spot for launching the boat, a picnic, a little shore fishing, or a stroll with the kids. Theyre re-​doing the whole beach area right now, so that should be awesome for next summer. There are 10 launch points and an easy slope associated with it. plenty of parking on most days for trucks and trailers, but dont plan on finding anything on major weekends if you dont get there plenty early. The concessions stand has bait, emergency oil and tackle, plus drinks snacks and ice. Marine fuel prices are average, but USBOAT members get discounts. Its just a short hop across the bay to Ceasar’s Creek and the lower Keys, so this is a favorite spot for me. You can spend 175 bucks for a yearly pass providing parking and launch fees at all M-​D boat ramps up into Miami proper, which pays for itself after 7 or 8 trips.
