Tiny and unassuming, nestled on the sparkling Biscayne Bay waters, the elite community of Indian Creek Village has proven to be one of Miami's choice neighborhoods, enhancing the lives of its affluent residents and the already-pampered furry pets under their care!
Offering 0.46 square miles (294 acres) and connected to the mainland at Riverside via a single bridge, the elusive Indian Creek Village is hailed the exclusive abode of the privileged and influential, a neighborhood gem on a man-made barrier island tucked into North Beach's western edge.
While the prosperous community seemingly remains "inaccessible" to the masses, the same can't be said for Miami's wealthiest and most prominent homeowners and their four-legged family members, with Indian Creek Village constantly making daily real estate headlines care of its rich and famous residents who make it their home, some owning multiple parcels on the island.
And its biggest catch?
We all know that luxury, privacy, and security are already a given, but its ideal location near South Florida's most revered destinations tops the list!
Shopping, dining, entertainment, indoor and outdoor recreation, and more-- only the best for "The Billionaire Bunker!"
And if you're curious, it includes Miami's best dog-friendly parks, too!
Here's a list of dog-friendly parks near Indian Creek Village.

3) Bark Beach-North Beach Oceanside Park (Top-Pick!)
8328 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33141
Who knew dogs could be so lucky lounging beachside at their very own Bark Beach?
Found in North Beach Oceanside Park, Bark Beach is your pup's perfect spot for sun, sand, and sea, a 7-minute drive from Indian Creek.
While the entire beach area along North Beach Oceanside Park is off-limits to non-human visitors, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM are an exception!
During this period, the section between 80th and 81st Streets becomes an off-leash doggy paradise!
That's right, your dog can romp in the sand and splash in the water during these special dog-designated hours, but be sure they keep within the dog beach area.
Let your dog play under the sun, crush the sand castle you built, or get their paws wet on the beach.
Your dog can run the stretch without a leash, but keep it on hand, as you'll need it when entering and exiting Bark Beach and in the rest of the park.
If you didn't know, North Beach Oceanside Park also has another treasure for dogs, a dog park within the park!
It has two double-fenced dog-run areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs, so your pup can ditch the leash again inside the area!
The dog park also features water fountains for thirsty pups, benches, bags, and trash cans to make clean-up a breeze!

Winters Park is a local favorite nature spot for families and tourists with numerous recreational activities and amenities like park benches, pavilions, playgrounds, and an interactive splash pad with water jets and sculptural features.
