People sometimes talk as if tourism is something new in Sunny Isles Beach but long before Donald Trump and his friends invested in luxury high-rise properties on the coastline, the area attracted plenty of visitors to the more modest motels that were dotted alongside the dunes.
It is hard to find many images from the days gone by but one of the things we want to do here is to dig out whatever can be found online to give a taste of what life must have been like in this area. …

This sounds like fun for the younger members of our community – the City of Sunny Isles Beach is putting on a Beach Bash for teens in the area.

The Pelican Bar is a real favourite for anyone who has spent any amount of time on the beach. Located on the old Newport pier, just to the right of the Newport Beach Hotel – the Pelican is a classic tiki bar – wooden floor, simple tables, straightforward but tasty food and a magnificent view of the Atlantic ocean.
The menu offers standards faves such as various burgers, salads, club sandwiches etc but the Pelican also has a raw bar which is proving increasingly popular as customers enjoy the oysters …

One from yesteryear….

This really does capture the old-time Sunny Isles – the space, the beach, the lazy summer days. Even though the coast is no longer home to many little motels, the high-rise hotels and condos having taken their place, Sunny Isles still has the kind of old-school, slip on your flip-flops and shorts and hang out by the beach feel that has been lost to too many resorts.
Anyway, we are suckers for vintage postcards so if you find any drop us a line to visitsunnyislesbeach@gmail.com and we’ll stick them …

Remember when beachlife mean just chilling out with a drink and your friends? Remember when you could just grab a nice plate of seafood or a burger and a beer? Ever wish that you could just, well, have fun without all the BS?
Well, that beachlife still exists – and it is thriving in Sunny Isles.
We want to capture the essence of the beachlife in our city so please send us your pictures of friends and family having fun in Sunny Isles and we will add them to our fun photogallery.
