About
No bridge reaches Fisher Island, which lies off the lower end of Miami Beach, so people get there by private car ferry, by boat or by helicopter. Homes are condominiums in low- and mid-rise buildings, plus a handful of villas. The grounds hold a golf course, a private marina and a beach open only to residents and their guests. At the island's historic heart is the winter estate Maurice Fatio designed for William K. Vanderbilt II in the late 1920s.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on buying and investing here
What is Fisher Island known for?
Privacy. Fisher Island is private, no bridge links it to the mainland, and the only ways in are a ferry, a boat or a helicopter.
What kinds of homes are on Fisher Island?
Most homes here are condo apartments. Recent Census estimates put nine in ten homes in buildings of five or more units. Those buildings are low- to mid-rise, reaching about ten floors at most, and villas make up a smaller share.
What amenities and landmarks does Fisher Island have?
At the center of Fisher Island is the historic Vanderbilt-era estate. The island also has a private marina, a golf course and a private beach club.
What should I check before buying on Fisher Island?
Find out whether the unit includes Fisher Island Club membership or whether you'd have to purchase it on your own, because the club controls access to the beach, golf course, marinas and spa. Also request the Fisher Island Community Association covenants, since they bind every owner.
If I live on Fisher Island, how do I get to the mainland and back?
Cars cross on a private ferry that runs day and night from its landing on Terminal Island Road, off the MacArthur Causeway. Some residents also come and go by boat or helicopter.
