My Guide to Bay Harbor Islands
Nestled between the mainland and the beaches of Miami, Bay Harbor Islands is one of South Florida’s hidden gems. As someone who grew up in Miami and has family on the islands, I’ve seen firsthand why this community is becoming the ultimate destination for those seeking a blend of tranquility, sophistication, and modern luxury.
Here is your guide to experiencing life on Bay Harbor Islands:
Bay Harbor Islands offers the charm of small-town living with the conveniences of a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Consisting of two islands—the east island zoned for single-family homes and the west island featuring condominiums and mixed-use properties—this community is an oasis in the heart of Miami-Dade County. Its tree-lined streets, waterfront views, and vibrant local culture set the stage for an unparalleled quality of life.
One of the most appealing aspects of Bay Harbor Islands is its pedestrian-friendly layout. Stroll to local coffee shops, boutique stores, and art galleries. The local schools, including the highly-rated Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center, make it an ideal choice for families. Bal Harbour Shops—an iconic luxury shopping destination—is just minutes away. From cozy cafes to fine dining restaurants, Bay Harbor Islands offers diverse culinary options that cater to everyone. Some must-try dining spots include Emilio's Trattoria (for when you’re craving Italian ) and The Palm Miami (a classic American steakhouse).
