Fisher Island, FL

Fisher Island is an ultra-exclusive private island community tucked between South Beach and the Port of Miami. Home to only a few hundred residents, it is renowned for its privacy, strict security, and peaceful coastal setting. Because there are no roads or bridges connecting the island to the mainland, residents and guests travel across the water via a 24-hour auto ferry, private yacht, or helicopter, with golf carts serving as the primary way to get around.

Daily life on the island revolves around a luxury resort lifestyle, complete with private beaches, a golf course, world-class tennis courts, a marina, and on-island dining. Families with young children have access to the Fisher Island Day School right on the grounds, which teaches preschool through eighth grade. It provides a quiet, self-contained sanctuary that feels worlds away from the urban bustle while keeping you just minutes from downtown Miami.
