Haulover Beach Florida

Haulover Beach Florida is Florida’s only official clothing-optional beach but not to worry if you are not so inclined.

Seventy-five percent (75%) of this beautiful Miami beach is your typical Florida beach and if you don't venture too far north, you won't see anything shocking.

The other twenty-five percent (25%) at the north end is dedicated to Bare-It-All Club. By the way, baring it all is not required here so you may see a couple half bare and half suited up.

So, clothing-challenged or not, haul yourself on over to either the north or south end (your preference) and enjoy this splendid blend of tropical beach greenery, textured brown sand and warm sparkling blue water.

So, how did this place get a name like Haulover?

Here's the answer. Many years ago, this area was all swamp and the residents would have to carry their boats past the swamps to get to the ocean so they would say they had to “haul over” their boats past the swamps to access the ocean.

So, next time you are on Jeopardy and that question comes up...
