Brickell Key

Brickell Key is a little island just off of Brickell Avenue with condos and a few businesses. It has a one mile path around the perimeter that is perfect for walking and running. In the early morning hours there are a lot of people out there and I’m sure it’s the same in the after work evening hours. People aren’t the friendliest — no hellos going on here — but they’re not mean either. Plus, most of the path is wide enough so you don’t have to shout a lot of «excuse me’s» to the people in front of you. The best part are the views. From the island’s path you get to see Brickell, the Port of Miami and the cruise ships, expanses of Biscayne Bay, and the Rickenbacker in the distance, all while feeling the bay breezes.
I usually combine the mile loop around Brickell Key with a longer run through Brickell or down to Bayside.
