Description

Matheson Hammock County Park, a serene 630-acre oasis in Coral Gables, is known for its unique atoll pool, an artificial lagoon naturally refreshed by Biscayne Bay’s tides. This scenic park is ideal for family outings with its gentle waters, beautiful coastal views, and shaded picnic spots. For adventure-seekers, Matheson is a top spot for kiteboarding, as the area’s steady breezes and shallow waters make it perfect for launching and gliding along the bay. The park, which opened in 1930 thanks to a land donation by William J. Matheson, also provides extensive amenities, including a fishing pier, boating marina, and RV parking, and it’s complete with restrooms, showers, and lifeguard services for added comfort and safety.
