The Rotraut Color Sculptures are an art exhibition found along the beach in the village of Bal Harbour. It's a great place to stop for a break to admire the artwork.

The pier marks the northern end of the Miami boardwalk. The pier is wide and smooth and often has people fishing and sightseeing. You can ride out onto the breakwater and watch the waves or look for boats passing into Haulover Inlet.
