Sunny Isles Beach conditions

A wide high-rise beach anchored by the Newport Fishing Pier.

Sunny Isles Beach is in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.

Sunny Isles Beach runs about two miles up a high-rise barrier island in Miami-Dade County, reached by twenty-two public beach accesses off Collins Avenue. City lifeguards staff ten towers every day of the year, from 9:30am to 6pm on Daylight Saving Time and 9am to 5:30pm the rest of the year. Parking is metered in the city lots and garages, and city ordinance keeps domestic animals off the sand. Hollywood Beach sits about four miles north, and the tide predictions on this page come from the Newport Fishing Pier gauge in the middle of town.

Red tide at Sunny Isles Beach

Red tide blooms build overwhelmingly on Florida's Gulf coast, and Sunny Isles sits on the Atlantic side, so this beach almost never sees one. FWC samples the whole state, so a bloom that did reach Miami-Dade would show up here. See today's statewide red tide status.

Common questions

Is Sunny Isles Beach safe for swimming today?

That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Sunny Isles Beach loads at the top of this page.

Does Sunny Isles Beach have lifeguards?

Sunny Isles Beach has lifeguards on duty year-round. Hours vary by season, and no flag flying does not mean the water is safe.
