The Huntington Levy is 5 minutes away

The levy (dam) is a beautiful place to walk and get some fresh air in the Huntington neighborhood. Just go down Biscayne, cross Huntington and continue on Farrington Ave, follow the small curve in the road and go left on Liberty Dr. The levy will be right in front of you.
