Stick with us today as we help you find the best beach-geared models—and stop by Vista MINI Coconut Creek near Boca Raton, FL, and test drive your favorite MINI cars and SUVs.

Soak Up the Sun and Let in Fresh Air: The Convertible

If you’re planning a beach day, virtually no other vehicle is geared for the job as well as the MINI convertible. In short, this ride packs all the flair of the MINI Hardtop 2 Door but makes the roof a soft-top convertible to help you absorb copious amounts of vitamin D while on your way to a sandy paradise. Plus, with turbocharged power, you’ll find virtually no issues rushing to city speeds when you need to make a left turn with confidence or get on the highway with ease—all while cruising with up to EPA-estimated 37 highway mpg to help keep gas station stops to a minimum as you head to the ocean for the day or make a few stops on your way to pick up all the essentials for a legendary time, like sunscreen and a bold pair of shades.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious cabin packed with style, including standard MINI navigation when you need to make a gas station stop or find directions to your next favorite beach destination. For comfort, dual-zone climate controls help you and your passenger cool off at your personal pace while the standard heated seats warm you up on days when the water is cool or during breezy winter mornings.

Make Room for Fun: Meet the Clubman

Do you need extra cargo during your beach days? The MINI Clubman has you covered with two hinged doors in the back that make for easy loading, perfect for packing in a few towels, an umbrella, and even a picnic or catering for the ultimate lunch on the beach—you’ll have up to 47.9 cubic feet of cargo space to help ensure your essentials and more make it inside (and a massive 17.5 cubic feet of space in the trunk area before putting your seats down).

Are you looking for extra fun before getting to the water? Opt for the John Cooper Works ALL4 model and you’ll cruise with 301 horsepower to help you rush from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, helping bring a sporty touch to your cruise.

Electrified Efficiency: EVs and PHEVs for your Beach Day

Why spend money and time on gas when you live near the beach—and no, we’re not referring to walking. Instead, the MINI Electric Hardtop helps you save by removing the need to refuel, granting you an EPA-estimated 114-mile range on a full charge, helping you make a few trips to your sandy destination through the week before needing to consider a recharge if you live in the Coconut Creek area.

Not ready to go fully electric? The MINI Countryman PHEV not only lets you travel to the beach with a spacious and versatile SUV style but also grants you an estimated combined range of 300 miles on a full charge. Plus, with eALL4 Drive, you can send power to all four wheels, helping you reach your special beach spot when you need to cross a gravel or sandy path first.
