Skyline Shadow Analyzer

The bay exposure keeps this park in full sun until late afternoon. Tower shadows from the west don't reach the waterfront until after 5 PM most of the year.

Low surrounding warehouse buildings mean minimal shadow impact. Afternoon shade comes from the buildings themselves, not towers. Good all-day option.

New Paraiso towers cast significant afternoon shadow from the west. Best window: morning through early afternoon. The bay view remains excellent throughout.

The east-west street orientation creates a natural shade corridor by afternoon. Best for morning coffee or brunch. Avoid for afternoon sun-seeking.

One of the best full-sun options in the Design District. Low surrounding buildings and open plaza design keep it in sun through most of the day.

Shade depends entirely on umbrella placement and temporary structures, which vary by venue and season. Arrive early or after 3 PM for the most comfortable experience.

Full sun all day — this is a beach, not a shade destination. The ocean breeze (typically 12–18 mph) is the only relief. Shade structures and umbrellas are available for rent. Art Deco buildings begin casting long shadows after 5 PM.

The narrow east-west street orientation creates deep afternoon shade. Best for lunch and dinner — the shade arrives right when you want it. Morning sun is direct and warm.

No meaningful shade — the park is intentionally open. The wind is the feature here, not the shade. Bring sun protection. Best visited at sunrise or golden hour when the light is spectacular.

Banyan tree canopy provides consistent shade along most of the mall. Restaurant umbrellas fill the gaps. One of South Beach's most comfortable all-day outdoor options — the trees make it work.
