Miami Beach

Drinking on spring break and really need to go? See this map of Miami Beach restrooms

Planning to celebrate spring break in Miami Beach? There are lots of rules you need to know.

Beaches close at 6 p.m. and there’s a curfew in place this weekend, part of city efforts to reduce large crowds and crime after previous spring breaks brought rowdy partygoers and shootings to Ocean Drive. Some garages are closed, and the ones that are open can be pricey. There is no sidewalk seating and no one can sell alcohol for off-premises consumption after 6 p.m. this weekend.

What about public restrooms?

The good news is there are more than a dozen public restrooms spread across Miami Beach, which means you won’t have to stray too far from your beach chair to use the toilet. Bathrooms can be found across public parks, including at popular spots like Lummus Park and South Pointe Park.

However, keep in mind that while the restrooms are open for most of the day, none are open around the clock. Hours of operation vary. And while there are a lot of hotels, restaurants and shops stretching along Ocean Drive, keep in mind some places might not let you rush to the toilet unless you’re a paying customer or a guest.

Here’s a map to help you find the nearest public potty. To see the location and hours of each restroom, click on one of the blue icons:
