Getting To The Beach is Always a Breeze

Make the most of the destination’s year-round sunshine by unwinding on the white sand beaches of Sunny Isles Beach. Beachgoers can make their way to the ocean through one of 22 beach access points. The city ensures beach access for all through well-maintained walkways with pavers at each access point and also offers convenient amenities, such as showers, restrooms and picnic areas.

A Mobi-mat is available at Samson Oceanfront Park. Specialized beach wheelchairs and walkers are available every day through the Ocean Rescue Service. To access this service, you can either call the Cultural and Community Services Department at 305-792-1706 or speak to one of the lifeguards at any of the 10 lifeguard towers. These beach wheelchairs are not only highly stable and easy to roll, but they are also designed to maneuver effortlessly on even the softest sand, so you can enjoy the beach without any worries. They can even be used at the water's edge, making it possible for you to enjoy the water in a safe and comfortable manner.

Find Secure Parking At The Beach

Metered parking is available throughout Sunny Isles Beach. While street parking is primarily reserved for residents, visitors can park at several municipal parking lots and public parking garages for a fee. Municipal parking lots include: the Pier Park Lot (16501 Collins Ave.), the Lehman Causeway Lot (19160 Collins Ave.) and the lot behind the Walgreens (175th Street & Atlantic Blvd.) as well as the Gateway Park Parking Garage (151 Sunny Isles Blvd.) and the Heritage Park Garage (19200 Collins Ave.).
