History

In 1920, area land was purchased sizing 2.26-square-miles and a tract of land for tourist and resorts was designated, “Sunny Isles -- The Venice of America”.

The Haulover bridge was completed in 1925 and the area became accessible from Miami Beach, attracting many developments and visitors.

In 1926, an all-wooden racetrack with stands for 12,000 spectators was erected. After just one "international auto race," the track was destroyed by a major hurricane, its wooden beams blown all over the county.

In 1936, Milwaukee malt magnate Kurtis Froedtert bought Sunny Isles. The Sunny Isles Pier was built and soon became a popular destination. Sunny Isles developed slowly until the 1950s when the first single-family homes were built in the Golden Shores area. During the 1950s and 1960s more than 30 motels sprang up along Collins Avenue including the Ocean Palm, the first two-story motel in the U.S. Tourists came from all over to vacation in themed motels of exotic design along "Motel Row.  In 1982 the half-mile-long pier was designated a historic site.

In 1997, the citizens of the area voted to incorporate as a municipality. Sunny Isles Beach began major redevelopment during the real estate boom of the early 2000s with mostly luxury high-rise condominiums and some hotels under construction along the beach side of Collins Avenue (A1A) replacing most of the historic one- and two-story motels along Motel Row.
