About Sunny Isles Beach
History
Originally part of a quiet barrier island inhabited by the Tequesta people, Sunny Isles remained largely undeveloped until the early 1900s. Following the completion of the Haulover Bridge in 1925, the area became famous as "America's Riviera," attracting tourists with beachfront motels and vacation resorts. Beginning in the late 1990s, the city experienced a remarkable transformation as luxury oceanfront condominiums replaced many of the historic hotels, creating one of Florida's most prestigious residential skylines.
