Radius Map of Miami

The map above is centered on Miami, United States, near Bayfront Park, with a default 10 mi radius. Drag to move it, search for a different address, or change the radius and unit using the controls.

Miami's urban geography is dictated by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Everglades to the west. The metropolitan area is a long, narrow strip running roughly north-south along I-95 and the Florida Turnpike, so a circular radius is a poor fit — much of any wide circle ends up in either the ocean or protected wetlands. Distances here are measured from Bayfront Park (25.774° N, 80.186° W).

Population: Miami city proper
Country: United States
Coordinates: 25.7741, -80.1857
Time zone: America/New_York

Miami metro is unusually linear — squeezed between the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades, the urbanized strip is only 10–12 miles wide but stretches 100+ miles from Florida City to Palm Beach.

How Miami radius maps get used

City-specific scenarios where a radius is the right tool — and the typical radius sizes professionals use.

Miami Beach hotel proximity

A 3-mile radius from Bayfront Park covers most of South Beach and Mid-Beach. For a "near downtown and the beach" hotel filter, a 5-mile radius captures both the downtown business district and the entire developed Miami Beach strip.

Typical radius: 3–5 miles for downtown + the beach

Miami-Dade urban catchment

Urban Miami-Dade County is roughly 25 miles north-south and only 10–12 miles east-west. A 25-mile radius captures most of its 2.7 million residents and reaches into southern Broward — a practical "South Florida" trade area.

Typical radius: 25 miles for urban Miami-Dade

South Florida tri-county regional

For Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach (the South Florida combined statistical area, ~6.4 million people), a 50-mile radius captures the urbanized strip from Homestead to the southern edge of Palm Beach County.

Typical radius: 50 miles for tri-county South Florida

MIA airport service zone

Miami International Airport sits ~7 miles west of Bayfront Park. A 10-mile radius covers MIA plus most of urban Miami — useful for hotel proximity and airport ground-transport zones.

Typical radius: 10 miles to include MIA

Geographic quirks of Miami radius mapping

Local geography and infrastructure that change how a radius behaves here. Skipping these is the most common reason a radius decision goes sideways.

The Everglades cap the western half

Miami-Dade's urban edge runs roughly along the Florida Turnpike, only 10–15 miles inland. Beyond that, Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve fill the western half of any radius — they're geographically inside the circle but contain almost no population or roads.

The metro is a long, thin strip

Miami metro extends about 100 miles north-south (Florida City to Jupiter) but only 10–12 miles east-west. A circle is a poor fit — analysts often use a corridor along I-95 instead. A 50-mile circle from Miami includes more ocean and Everglades than urban land.

Hurricane evacuation zones

Miami-Dade's evacuation zones (A through E) run roughly parallel to the coast. A radius from downtown crosses all five within ~10 miles. For hurricane-prep analysis, the zone-based polygons published by Miami-Dade Emergency Management are far more useful than a circular radius.

FAQ — Radius mapping in Miami

How big is a 10-mile radius in Miami?

A 10-mile radius from Bayfront Park covers downtown Miami, Miami Beach, MIA airport, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Coconut Grove, and most of urban Miami-Dade north of Kendall. It just clears Aventura and Hollywood.

What's within 25 miles of Miami?

A 25-mile radius reaches Fort Lauderdale's southern edge, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Kendall, Doral, and most of urban Miami-Dade and southern Broward. Boca Raton is just outside; the Florida Keys begin around 50 miles.

Does a 10-mile radius cover Miami International Airport (MIA)?

Yes. MIA sits about 7 miles west of Bayfront Park, well inside a 10-mile radius. A 5-mile radius does not reach MIA.

How far is Fort Lauderdale from Miami?

Downtown Fort Lauderdale is about 28 miles north of Bayfront Park — just outside a 25-mile radius. The southern edge of Fort Lauderdale is about 25 miles. A 50-mile radius easily covers both cities and most of the South Florida urban strip.

Why does a Miami radius look misleading on a map?

Because so much of the western half is Everglades and the eastern half is Atlantic Ocean. A 25-mile circle from Bayfront Park covers ~1,960 square miles of geography but maybe 700 square miles of urbanized land. Always look at population inside the circle, not the raw area.

How do I plan a South Florida regional catchment?

Use a 50-mile radius from downtown Miami, or use a 100-mile north-south corridor along I-95 from Homestead to Palm Beach. The corridor approach is more accurate because the metro is linear, not radial — most population sits in a thin strip along the coast.
