They call Sunny Isles Beach Florida’s Riviera for good reason. With towering, opulent condominium resorts lining two miles of pristine white-sand beach, it’s easy to live the good life when you’re here. Whether it’s lounging poolside in a cabana, sinking your toes in the sand or dining seaside, Sunny Isles Beach offers clean, uncrowded and relaxing beaches perfect for a family vacation or romantic getaway.
Situated just north of Bal Harbour and Haulover Park, Sunny Isles Beach is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. The community is home to lovely oceanfront parks, like the beautifully landscaped Samson Oceanfront Park, which hosts concerts and family activities throughout the year. You’ll find a playground for the little ones here as well as a shaded picnic area and public restrooms before you reach the beach and its turquoise shore.
Sunny Isles Beach is also home to the Newport Fishing Pier. Spanning over 700 feet, it’s Miami’s only public fishing pier and it’s home to a casual restaurant. Take the family for a stroll to watch the fishermen and the pelicans that flock here and enjoy sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Another major draw of Sunny Isles Beach is its lavish resorts, like the Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach. With a Mediterranean Revival façade and plush red lounge chairs lining the pool and beach, it’s a fabulous destination for your stay in Sunny Isles Beach. Or, you can simply visit for an afternoon at its Five Star spa or a special evening out at one of its restaurants.
You’ll also find a variety of other sought-after dining experiences in Sunny Isles Beach, including Timo Restaurant & Bar for Italian-Mediterranean fare from a beloved local chef. The area’s large Russian population means you’ll find plenty of delis and casual eateries featuring the cuisine’s most beloved dishes.
