Sunny Isles Beach, the City of Sun and Sea, is located on a
barrier island in the northeast corner of Miami-Dade County,
bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal
Waterway on the west. Golden Beach lies to the north,
Bal Harbour and Haulover Park are immediately to the south.
Sunny Isles Beach is midway between downtown
Miami
Beach and Fort
Lauderdale with easy access to business centers, entertainment,
sports and recreational facilities, and tourist attractions.
Residents and visitors can fly into either Miami International
or Fort Lauderdale /
Hollywood International airports, or cruise
into the Port of Miami or Port Everglades and be in Sunny Isles
Beach within 20 to 30 minutes.
Almost one million vacationers visit Sunny Isles Beach
annually to enjoy the 2 ½ mile-long fine sand beach and outdoor
amenities such as water sports, boating, fishing, and tennis as
well as the abundant shopping, dining and entertainment options
nearby. The landmark fishing pier is a local favorite while the
beautiful Samson Oceanfront Park provides a children's play area
and space to relax; meet friends and enjoy the sunrise.
The City is experiencing a major redevelopment renaissance on
the east side of Collins Avenue, the main thoroughfare. Zoning
laws ensure that view corridors and beach access pathways will
always offer residents a life with a view. To the west of
Collins Avenue, the City is building parks, improving the
infrastructure and laying the groundwork for future
redevelopment.
The emphasis of most of the redevelopment is on residential
condominium construction. The City is steadily replacing
outdated motels with luxury residential oceanfront development.
Much of the residential construction is not for year-round
occupancy, however the statistics show a steady growth in young
families who desire to be near the ocean. |
