Where to meet singles in Miami when it’s time to stop swiping and leave your house

If the thought of hundreds of fit, attractive, half-clothed people running through the streets of Brickell gets your blood pumping, listen up. Every Tuesday night, Brickell Run Club stops traffic and turns heads as its brigade of toned, glistening runners whips past. If you want to meet your better half, run, don’t walk to this weekly outing, where you’re sure to break a sweat from the workout and the eye candy.

Get ready to put on your Sunday best—and by that, we mean athleisure—to pick up that special someone at one of Miami’s most romantic historical landmarks. Vizcaya Village now offers weekly wellness classes every Sunday for just $5. Talk about a cheap date! From yoga to meditation to tai chi and Zumba, you can achieve your ultimate zen while keeping that third eye open for the yin to your yang.

Haulover’s your spot if you’re looking for a public beach with plenty of parking options and, well, beach options. The first part of the beach is dog-friendly, so if you have a four-legged friend and are looking to fulfill your rom-com meet-cute fantasy, it might be the place. And if you dare to go bare, venture north of lifeguard station #12, and you’ll find the nude-friendly section of the beach, where you can get your cheeks sandy and pick up a few digits from fellow naturalists.

Do you have copious cookbooks on your counter that you still need to crack open? Now’s the time to dust them off and use them to find the sous chef of your dreams. Hitting up the Farmers’ Market in Coconut Grove on a Saturday may open the chance of finding love or a first date. And the worst case? If the single-ness doesn’t subside, you at least added some fresh produce to your life.

The Wynwood staple and iconic watering hole often brings locals and tourists making their way through the 305 (sometimes in those weird 10-person bicycle carts). From their Let’s Sang karaoke Mondays to the Double Stubble drag show on Thursdays, you’re bound to meet an inclusive bunch while sipping on a delicious Rosemary’s Baby (it’s a drink).

Love it or hate it, Lagniappe isn’t going anywhere, and there’s plenty of reason for that—it’s a Miami institution at this point. Yes, it’s the quintessential first-date spot, but it’s also the place for birthdays, friend gatherings and breakups. So, grab a bottle of liquid courage and a bucket of ice; you never know when one table’s party may become a part of yours. Can you smell that? Is it love in the air or just a glorious meat and cheese plate?

The chain of islands in Biscayne Bay may be artificial, but the connections you’ve been missing could be real. A drive, walk, or bike over the islands on any day, but weekends especially, is sure to turn up a plethora of fitness-focused singles that may be looking for something more than just platonic. So double-knot those new Nikes and take a jog. Just don’t use that “Are you tired?” pickup line, please. Via the Venetian Causeway

The Standard is more than just standard. It’s a hot spot for singles and visitors in Miami. Although they don’t offer day passes, you can book a spa service to gain pool access. Single and self-caring? You never know; maybe your future partner’s doing the same. And if spas aren’t your thing, they also have plenty of fun (and sometimes free) events.

Look no further for love than South Pointe’s iconic sunsets. The beautiful green space at the southern tip of Miami Beach offers stunning panoramic views of the South Beach (romantic!) and the giant cruise ships going out to sea (not-so-romantic). But for real, plenty of singles are surely catching the sunset, and there’s usually some sort of music thing happening, like a drum circle. So march to the beat of your drum, or theirs, as another day in the 305 ends.

If you want to live your Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore fantasy, look no further than the aptly named throwing studio in Wynwood, Of Course I Still Love You Ceramics. They offer six-week courses, full-moon classes and even music-themed wheel throwing. So, try your hand at making a new salad bowl or finding a first date. At the very least, you’ll have something to keep your hands off Tinder. 124 NE 22nd St
