Miami's ultra-exclusive private island sanctuary accessible only by ferry

Fisher Island
Directions

Fisher Island is an ultra-exclusive private island enclave located just south of Miami Beach. Accessible only by private ferry, yacht, or helicopter, this former Vanderbilt estate boasts luxurious resort amenities, pristine private beaches, and a championship golf course. Public access is strictly restricted, so visitors must be registered resort guests or invited by an island resident.

History

Fisher Island was originally a part of the estate of William K. Vanderbilt, a prominent American businessman. In the 1940s, it was transformed into a private island community and has since become one of the wealthiest zip codes in the United States.

Quick tip: Arrange your resort reservation or guest pass well in advance, as ferry access requires strict security authorization before boarding.
