What are the best beaches in Miami?

I am planning to go to Miami for a day, which are the best beaches in Miami to cover in a day with family? I am also planning to go to Key-west from miami. Any suggestions??

1. Biscayne Beach. South Beach is very overrated.
2. south beach in Miami and when your on key west rent some scooters
3. the best beach in florida is coco beach , verry nce to c the clear blue water and nice fishing , there as well .
4. South Beach Virginia Key Beach Haulover Beach Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park Homestead Bayfront Park and Marina
5. Cocoa Beach is the best beach in Miami in my opinion.
6. Haulover beach is a nude beach, and the only one in florida. Crandon Park is very shallow and has a lot of isolated areas. South Beach is where all the touristy attractions are though. If you want to buy trinkets, tshirts, or get a tattoo you'll regret, go there.
7. seriously south beach, biscayne is awful, all those people from miami with their loud music and the water is horrible. if you dont want too many people go to 26 and collins that is very nice also, or 1st street for the best waves. seriously key west has awful beaches, i would stay in south beach or north beach but not key west
8. i'd say south beach for the touristy things, but crandon for relaxing or much less crowds.. when in key west definitely go see the sunset/entertainment at the pier
9. With the family in Miami, I would say Crandon Park in Key Biscayne (not Hobie Beach which is before it). You can visit the lighthouse at Bill Baggs. South Beach is great if you want to do the tourist thing...drink and shop. Key West has very few beach spots believe it or not...don't forget to stop at the Tiki Bar in Islamorada on your way down!
