A CASUAL BARRIER ISLAND BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC AND INTRACOASTAL.
Into good vibes and tranquility? Like a laid-back lifestyle low on frills but heavy on adventure? Then you might just want to visit (or, hey, make a life change and move to) Sunny Isles Beach. As the name suggests, there’s plenty of vitamin D to go around, and locals are known for their friendly, warm demeanor and love of the outdoors. This is about as close as you can get in Florida to the Mediterranean joie de vivre without boarding a plane.
