Known forwide beachwhite sandsunny islesfamily friendly
Nicknamed 'Florida's Riviera,' Sunny Isles offers a broad ribbon of soft white sand and calm Atlantic swimming that families love, anchored by the scenic Newport Fishing Pier. It's more relaxed and spacious than South Beach while still having plenty of amenities and food nearby. Honest caveat: the shoreline is walled by a canyon of luxury condo and resort towers, so it can feel more resort-manufactured than neighborhoody, and public beach parking is scarce and pricey since most spaces belong to hotels. Best accessed early or via a nearby garage.
