Just at the foot of Rickenbacker Bridge when you cross over on to Key Biscayne, you'll find Dog Beach. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. Enjoy fantastic views of the city and plentiful equipment rentals such as windsurfers, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, hobie cats and sunfish sailboats. Because people often forget to clean up when they use this popular dog and picnic area, you should be careful of where you step. There have been swimming warnings here in the past. But, when it's clean and safe, this is a fantastic spot to enjoy all kinds of water-based recreation!

*********************************************************

Justo al pie del Puente Rickenbacker, cuando cruzas a Key Biscayne, encontrarás Dog Beach. Los perros son bienvenidos, pero deben estar con correa. Disfrute de las fantásticas vistas de la ciudad y de los abundantes alquileres de equipos como tablas de vela, kayaks, tablas de surf de remo, catamaranes y botes Sunfish. Debido a que las personas a menudo se olvidan de limpiar cuando usan esta popular área de picnic y perros, debe tener cuidado con el lugar donde camina. Ha habido advertencias de natación aquí en el pasado. Pero, cuando está limpio y seguro, este es un lugar fantástico para disfrutar de todo tipo de recreación acuática.
