The Venetian Islands in Miami Beach

The Venetian Islands are a set of islands making up one of the most sought after Miami Beach neighborhoods. Despite being so close to the heart of South Beach, this neighborhood is quite tranquil. From east to west, the islands are as follows: Belle Isle, Rivo Alto Island, Di Lido Island, San Marino Island, San Marco Island, and Biscayne Island. The Venetian Causeway runs through all six islands connecting the islands to the mainland and Miami Beach proper. Located within Biscayne Bay, just off of NE 15th Street and Biscayne Boulevard, this chain of man-made islands grants buyers a serene environment within the hustle and bustle of the vacation capital of the world.

Belle Isle – Venetian Islands

The easternmost barrier island of the chain is Belle Isle. This island is home to a few apartment and condominium buildings, The Standard Hotel Miami Beach, and Belle Isle Park as the central focal point of the island. Belle Island was originally named Bull Isle, but was later renamed. During the early days of Miami Beach, Belle Island was known as the gate way to the beach and had an enclave of sprawling million dollar estates. Over time, Belle Island became how it is today, and is the only island within the chain to house multi-family units.
