South Pointe Park and South Point Pier are located at the southernmost point of Miami Beach. The park is adjacent to Government Cut and South Point Beach. Its proximity to the water allows visitors extensive panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, South Pointe Beach, the Miami skyline, and a great vantage point to view the cruise ships as they come and go from the Cruise Port along Government Cut.

The promenade offers a view of Fisher Island on the opposite shore of Government Cut. The park consists of 19 acres and has a variety of areas for visitors to explore including direct access to both the bayfront and beachfront. 

The long promenade along Government Cut ends at the entrance to the pier. From the pier, visitors can look out into Biscayne Bay, watch boat traffic heading to and from the port, or look out across South Pointe Beach to the north.  

The design for the park includes an elevated berm with a winding walkway. The area closest to the beachfront has been set aside as a rebuilt coastal beach dune environment. Covered by beach grass, it provides an expansion to the sea turtle habitat but is lit at night so as to not disturb the turtles which can be disturbed by bright lights at night.

The park's winding path works its way around a children's playground, a spray water feature, a small amphitheater, several large palm lawns, and a restaurant. The park is used by joggers, children playing on the lawns and water feature, groups gathered for yoga, kite flying, biking, or just soaking in the view. The park often hosts events and festivals as well.

Aside from the cafe at the pavilion, there is the very popular Smith and Wollensky steakhouse in the park.
