About
Fisher Island sits just off the southern tip of Miami Beach and is reachable only by a private car ferry, helicopter, or boat — no bridge connects it to the mainland. The island's zoning caps development at a low overall density, and its footprint includes a private marina, a golf course, and a stretch of beach reserved for residents and their guests, with the Vanderbilt mansion at its historic core.
