Shopping in Sunny Isles Beach consists of an extraordinary variety of shopping venues, albeit most of them are not within the city. 

Nevertheless, it's enough reason to make SIB your next destination, especially if you're into shopping!

The proximity of Sunny Isles Beach to South Florida's most famous shopping centers is unimaginable! 

The neighborhood is really right smack in the middle of everything retail! 

Right across the Causeway is Aventura Mall, the largest conventional shopping mall in Florida, and to the South, The Bal Harbour Shops, an upscale, open-air shopping mall known internationally for its luxury retail. 

Of course, these are only two among a dozen more options of both small-scale and large-scale retail shops and shopping areas!

Best to keep that black AMEX handy, guys. You'll never know when you'll be swiping next! *wink*

Are you packing your favorite walking shoes? Well, you should! 

At Sunny Isles Beach, exploring is inevitable!

For one, Collins Avenue, the main thoroughfare that runs right through the center of Sunny Isles Beach, is a road that follows the coast on the barrier island, with the beach on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. 

It's the heart of the city, boasting not only a long stretch of hotels, highrise apartments, and resorts but also SIB's shops, best restaurants, cafes, and bars. 

And the good news? 

You can easily stroll along its entire length in just half an hour! 

Of course, if you know yourself, you'll be spending the whole day browsing through the shops and trying out different coffee and drinks at every stop!

The city also offers public transport to go around, and commuters can choose to use their bikes for doing errands and going from place to place. 

The most walkable Sunny Isles Beach neighborhoods are Golden Shores, Ocean Boulevard Estates, and Kings Point.

Many will agree that the best thing about Sunny Isles Beach is, of course, the beach. 

The neighborhood is built right up the coastline, and it's a place where you can ultimately enjoy Florida's most famous activity first-hand, almost every single day throughout the year!   

Go for a swim in the Atlantic or sit back in the sands. 

Along the coast, you'll also find plenty of opportunities for more adventurous water sports if you're looking for more of a thrill. 

Meanwhile, at the southern end of Collins Avenue, you'll find one of the most spectacular outdoor beach areas in Sunny Isles Beach, Haulover Park. 

And let me tell you, it's the perfect place to spend the whole day, alone or with family and friends!

Aside from the area's brimming facilities, including public toilets and a few food trucks, visitors can also go for a swim, lounge in the park, play some sports, or sit back on the sand and do nothing at all (What? You deserve it!). 

Just note that some of the beaches along the coast are clothing-optional beaches, so be careful which stretches of sand you head to if you don't want an eye-full.

The city is also a stone's throw away from other recreational spots like Bal Harbour, Oleta River State Park, and a few more, so I know you get the picture!
