Sunny Isles Beach

About Sunny Isles Beach

Sunny Isles Beach is an upscale coastal city located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach, known for its dramatic skyline of luxury high-rise condominiums and resort hotels along Collins Avenue. The beach itself features clean, well-maintained sand and calm Atlantic waters that are perfect for swimming and bodyboarding. Often called the "Riviera of Florida," Sunny Isles attracts an international crowd and offers a more relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere compared to the party scene of South Beach. The 1,000-foot Newport Fishing Pier is a landmark where visitors can fish, stroll, or watch the sunrise over the ocean. Several beachfront parks including Gateway Park and Samson Oceanfront Park provide free public beach access with lifeguards, restrooms, and showers. The area has excellent dining options along Collins Avenue and 163rd Street, with a strong selection of Russian, Mediterranean, and Latin American cuisine reflecting the community's diverse population. Metered street parking and municipal lots are available. Sunny Isles Beach is ideal for visitors seeking a clean, uncrowded, upscale beach experience in the greater Miami area without the noise and intensity of Miami Beach.
