About this city
Fisher Island is an exclusive, hyper-luxury private island residential community in Miami-Dade County, Florida, geographically located just off the southern tip of Miami Beach and north of Virginia Key. Originally separated from Miami Beach in 1905 by the cutting of the Government Cut shipping canal, the island was once owned entirely by real estate pioneer Carl Fisher and later by the prominent Vanderbilt family. Spanning 216 acres, Fisher Island boasts the highest per capita income of any place in the United States, offering unparalleled privacy, pristine artificial sand beaches made from imported Bahamian sand, and Mediterranean-style mansions. It is completely inaccessible by road, requiring a secure private ferry or helicopter to cross the turquoise Atlantic waters.
