About Sunny Isles Beach

Until relatively recently, the area now known as Sunny Isles Beach was an undeveloped barrier island off the coast of Florida. In 1920, an investor named Harvey Baker Graves purchased the land and named it Sunny Isles, planning to transform it into a tourist resort. He got his wish when the Haulover Bridge was completed in 1925. This made the area now known as Sunny Isles accessible from Miami Beach. The island was further developed under a new owner in 1936, when the pier was built. Homes and motels began to spring up, and tourists came to stay in them. Lured by Florida’s reliably great weather and the promise of the clear warm waters of the ocean, visitors came in droves to the area.

Tourism is still a huge part of the local economy. And over the years, thanks to successive waves of immigration, the city has become increasingly diverse. Modern-day Sunny Isles Beach has a noticeably Hispanic flavor and is a fun and fascinating place to spend a vacation.

Things to do in Sunny Isles Beach

It wouldn’t take a genius to guess that this area of Florida has some great beaches. After all, the clue is in the name. And it’s those beaches that bring the majority of tourists to this small town on the coast. But as well as beaches, Sunny Isles Beach offers some lesser-known attractions that are worth exploring.

• Enjoy sun, sand, and sea at Sunny Isles Beach. Is it a beach named after a town or a town named after a beach? Either way, the beach is the place in Sunny Isles to see and be seen. Enjoy swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, snorkeling, and sunbathing at this classic Florida location.
• Relax like the locals do at Haulover Park. Located on the southern tip of the island, this park combines grassy lawns and shady trees with beaches. You’ll also find some delicious food trucks here, making it a great place to spend the day. Be aware that some of the beaches are clothing optional, which might be an attraction in itself depending on your preferences.
• Paddle through the waterways of Oleta State Park. Along with sandy beaches, this famous park is home to mangrove swamps and numerous creeks and waterways. Rent a canoe or kayak and explore for yourself.
• Explore history at St Bernard de Clairvaux Church. Not many people come to Sunny Isles Beach to explore historic monuments, but the town is actually home to a 12th-century Spanish church. In the 20th century, the church was dismantled and moved from its location in Segovia, Spain, to be reassembled in Florida.
• See one of Florida’s best beaches at Hollywood Beach. That may sound like a bold claim given the competition, but Hollywood Beach, with its pristine white sand and unbelievably clear turquoise water, lives up to its billing.
