How a beach massage works
City of Miami Beach rules do not allow massage tables on the beach, so we do it the way it has been done on beaches for centuries:
- On the sand: you lie on our silky massage sheets right on the warm sand, Thai or “picnic” style, facing the ocean.
- On a beach lounge bed: relax on a cushioned lounge bed under an oversized umbrella. Lounge beds and umbrellas are rented from the beach stand for a separate fee.
Your therapist can use almost any style on the beach: Swedish, deep tissue, Thai, Shiatsu, Tui Na, reflexology and more.
Where to meet us: directions
We meet you at Marjory Stoneman Douglas Ocean Beach Park, on the shoreline behind 345 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139, in the South of Fifth neighborhood.
- From 3rd Street & Ocean Drive: walk through the park onto the beach, turn left (north) and walk about seventy yards to Esteban’s beach hut (the white beach shack). From the hut, walk toward the shoreline; your therapist will be waiting about thirty feet from the water.
- From 4th Street & Ocean Drive: walk east on 4th Street about seventy yards onto the sand. The white beach shack will be on your right, at about two o’clock. That is where you meet your therapist.
- Chairs, lounge beds and umbrellas: Esteban’s Place rents them to the public, 7 days a week from 9 AM to 6 PM. You can come and go; just let the beach attendant know.
Where Miami Massage Therapy began
More than seventeen years ago, co-owner Shane Molinaro gave sunrise massages on a towel in this exact spot to the woman who became his wife and business partner, Alejandra Palau. They still trade beach massages here at sunrise, and from that idea they built Miami Massage Therapy together. Now they share the spot with you.
Couples beach massage
Book a beach massage for two and lie side by side on the sand, or on two lounge beds, with two licensed therapists working at the same time. It is our favorite way to celebrate anniversaries, honeymoons, birthdays and proposals. See all our couples massage options, or try four hands massage on the beach.
Best times to book
- Sunrise: calm water, cooler sand and the sun coming up over the Atlantic. Our favorite.
- Morning: before the beach gets busy.
- Late afternoon: warm sand and golden light.
Popular times fill up fast, especially on weekends and holidays, so book early.
How long should a beach massage be?
- 60 minutes: full body, the most popular choice.
- 75 minutes: extra time for the neck, shoulders and lower back.
- 90 minutes: the full, unhurried ocean-front experience.
What to bring
- Your bathing suit: the easiest thing to wear for a beach massage.
- Water to drink before and after.
- Sunglasses or a hat for the walk.
- Nothing else: we bring the massage sheets, oils and everything your therapist needs.
