About

Sunny Isles Beach covers about two miles of a barrier island that runs between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal; condos for sale in Sunny Isles Beach fill its oceanfront towers. Nearly every lot is built out, so Collins Avenue is a wall of high-rises. The public beach covers the city's full length, and small parks such as Samson Oceanfront Park, 17425 Collins Avenue, open gaps between the towers. Newport Fishing Pier reaches out over the water. A short drive west leads to Aventura Mall, while Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport lies about 14 miles to the north, with Miami International Airport about 19 miles south. On the Intracoastal side you'll find the marinas and boat access.
