Sunny Isles Beach Beaches

Beautiful Sunny Isles Beach

By Andrea Garaycoa - May 07, 2024

    The perfect beach vacation awaits you on Greater Miami & Miami Beach’s sun-kissed coastline. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, Sunny Isles Beach is a hidden paradise of pristine beaches and palm-lined boulevards. Plan your getaway and discover the captivating charm of Sunny Isles Beach.

    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.). Parking costs $2 per hour in most lots, but the Ellen Wynne and Pier Park lots charge $3 per hour.

    Spend A Day Fishing, Dining & Enjoying The Ocean At Newport Fishing Pier

    The Newport Fishing Pier is located behind The Sunny at Pier Park. The historic landmark is open daily for sightseeing and fishing. Cast a line and reel in your catch or take a leisurely stroll along the pier and enjoy the scenery and ocean breeze. If you’re hungry after a day of fishing, look no further than Sandbar at Newport Pier, which offers a happy hour, salads, tacos, steaks, seafood and more against a backdrop of sparkling ocean views. Pier Park also offers beach access with a lifeguard station, restrooms and showers. You can get to Newport Fishing Pier from all over Sunny Isles Beach – and even from Aventura Mall – by taking advantage of the free Community Shuttle Service.

    Play and Relax in a Waterfront Park

    In addition to its picturesque beaches, Sunny Isles Beach is home to Samson Oceanfront Park. This park offers direct beach access, a boardwalk, a playground, a shaded pavilion with picnic tables and a beach volleyball court. The park is perfect for beach lovers who also want to enjoy the amenities of a well-maintained park. You can spend your day playing beach volleyball, building sandcastles, walking along the boardwalk or relaxing in the shade of the pavilion. Kids can also take a break from beach activities by playing in the park's playground.

    Experience Dining On The Beach

    Make your visit to Sunny Isles Beach more memorable with a bite to eat on the beach. When it comes to waterfront dining, Sunny Isles Beach does not fall short. With cuisines ranging from Greek to Italian, there's something for everyone. For a true beach dining experience, visit Tahiti Beach Club, a local favorite and hidden gem of Sunny Isles Beach. You can enjoy the ocean, your feet in the sand and the wind in your hair while dining on American and Mediterranean fusion cuisine with French influences. This family-owned business serves dishes like crab, shrimp and avocado salad, fish and chips, escargot, squid, calamari and Greek salad.
