Sunny Isles Beach
The location of the small city of Sunny Isles Beach—on the northern edge of Miami Beach, right in between downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale—is reason enough to go. But Sunny Isles Beach isn’t just the gateway to Dade County. The City of Sun and Sea has beautiful beaches, outdoor sports, and a surprising number of brand-new resorts, making it an ideal place to base a South Florida luxury getaway.
Activities and Attractions:
Your hotel will almost certainly be located near the beach—with 2.5 miles of sand edging a burg that’s only 1.5 miles square, it could hardly be otherwise. What’s true of all the Miami-area beaches is certainly true here: warm, calm, shallow waters are fringed by soft white sand, making it a perfect destination for an all-ages beach vacation.
Hotels and gear shacks along the beach can rent just about any kind of equipment you need to make your beach experience complete, starting with lounge chairs and including snorkels, jet skis, and scuba equipment. Book a dive expedition to explore one of the dozens of wrecks that dot the South Florida ocean floor, an unforgettable experience.
In addition, you can fish right off the pier at the beach, or charter a boat for a serious angling expedition. Prizes range from mackerel to marlin.
And if, for some reason, you don’t feel like going in the water, the Samson Oceanfront Park is a lovely way to pass the day, with green grass, playground equipment, and picnic facilities.
Insider Tip:
Sometimes affectionately called “Little Moscow,” Sunny Isles Beach has a thriving Russian community. Between fabulous Miami-area meals, snack on the perfect pierogi or a crisp dill spear at one of the Russian delis on Collins Avenue.
