1) Chuck Pezoldt Park

16555 SW 157th Ave, Miami, FL 33187

Collect memories (and photos worth the 'love') amidst the serenity, sunshine, and green-forward spaces of Chuck Pezoldt Park, a local park in the heart of Richmond West.

This 38-acre park unfolds in layers of emeralds, courtesy of its expansive lawns, curved walking paths, and clusters of palms that will make your snapshots almost cinematic. 

There's that and the overall vibe of Chuck Pezoldt Park, as you savor the scene of locals jogging past playgrounds, friends sharing coffee on benches, and families spreading out picnics under the soft Miami light.

This clean geometry — a long paved trail looping through the grass, wide-angle sky views, and an occasional jogger or cyclist to add movement to the frame—makes Chuck Pezoldt Park stand out from other parks. 

In fact, as the afternoon fades, you'll witness the sun catch the trees at the perfect angle, washing everything in a mellow gold that no one can resist staring at.

It's the quiet kind of beautiful that shows up when you let the moment breathe.

2) Un Café con Dios

12595 SW 56th St, Miami, FL 33175

It's not often you stumble upon a café in Richmond West, but when you do, it's like a true-to-life version of a pastel daydream tucked in its sun-kissed culs-de-sac.

Welcome to Un Café con Dios, a picture-perfect coffee trailer splashed in soft pink and white that sits beneath twinkling lights with outdoor tables, striped trimmings, and floral touches that look like they belong to a modern-day Barbie doll.

Here, every inch is a mood board — playful, cozy, and effortlessly photogenic.

And the menu? That's another story!

From latte cups rimmed in sprinkles to heart-shaped macarons and mousse cakes dusted in sugar gradients, Un Café con Dios is every bit as delicious as it is gorgeous, not to mention that they're Instagram-worthy, too!

Visit in the late afternoon when the sun dips low and the lights begin to glow, and you'll capture that perfect warm filter-like vibe without even trying. 

Un Café con Dios is a mini creative escape that allows good lighting and decadent desserts to turn an ordinary day into a feed-approved story.

3) Larry & Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground 

12451 SW 184th St, Miami, FL 33177

Sit back, relax, and watch history meet the famous South Florida greenery (and the occasional feathered show-off) at Larry & Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground, a 270-acre sprawl of South Dade wilderness, just 7 minutes from Richmond West.

Here, pine rocklands and preserved fruit groves whisper stories of Miami's past, and light filters through the trees like a built-in filter as you explore its winding nature trails, freshwater lake, and expansive lawns—each a new backdrop for your golden-hour snaps and drone stills.

Even its swimming beach and seasonal slides deliver bursts of color and motion for your reels or candid photos, while the RV sites and picnic areas invite a slower pace under the palms, perfect for those thinking of staying awhile.

Pop into the tiny museum near the main office before you leave — it's filled with old newspaper clippings and aviation keepsakes from the park's namesakes, turning this escape into a living scrapbook worth sharing.

For every mood and filter, there's a frame waiting for you at Larry & Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground—and a little dirt on your shoes to boot (no pun intended).

4) Pinto's Farm

14890 SW 216th St, Miami, FL 33170

Let rows of palms, a scarlet barn, and the smell of sun-warmed grass set the scene at Pinto's Farm, a countryside escape that transforms your adventure into a reel of spontaneous memories, just 7 minutes from Richmond West.

Across its open acres, paddleboats glide past the dock, ponies circle under the trees, and families settle under gazebos, trading snacks for stories, as they share laughter and photos that are, unsurprisingly, gorgeous, even without filters.

Why, you ask? Well, Pinto's Farm is a tourist attraction designed for nostalgia (and great pictures!) with its rust-red fences, dusty trails, and sunlight pooling over the animal pens— the ingredients you need for soft, timeless frames.

Everywhere you point your camera is an opportunity for social media stardom—a toddler roaming the petting zoo, a breeze lifting someone's straw hat, the color pop of lemonade cups against the barn's backdrop — tiny details that tell heartwarming stories.

No staging needed, even when every corner seems ready for your next—this is the charm of Pinto's Farm.

5) Patch of Heaven Sanctuary

21900 SW 157th Ave, Miami, FL 33170

Slip away from suburban rhythm and step into a world where Mother Nature hums softly beneath the sunlight at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, just 9 minutes from Richmond West.

What began as a humble horse ranch has blossomed into a 20-acre eco-sanctuary of ancient oaks, tropical gardens, and limestone caves that share space with koi ponds and stone chapels—the Patch of Heaven Sanctuary is a conservation site with a landscape that invites stillness and slow motion.

And your followers will eat up every bit of it!

Here, each path unravels into a different scene: bamboo corridors framing light like a cathedral, bridges mirrored on the water, and ivy-climbed walls that seem to belong to another time. 

In fact, between the textures and reflections, it'll be impossible to take the same photo twice at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary.

In the morning, the mist gives portraits a painterly glow, while late-day sun melts into soft orange through the leaves — two completely different moods in one location.
