Sunny Isles Beach, FL

On the island, on time.

Sunny Isles Beach is a barrier island with two bridges to the mainland. Onyx builds pickup timing around that, not around a generic city map.

Who this serves

Sunny Isles Beach is almost entirely oceanfront and Intracoastal-front condominium towers along a narrow strip of Collins Avenue. Onyx works with residents and guests of those buildings directly — tower valet pickups, not curbside guesswork on a barrier island where Collins Avenue is the principal north-south corridor.

The geography

The city runs about 1.8 square miles along Collins Avenue (SR A1A), bordered by the Atlantic to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. It connects to the mainland by two direct vehicle crossings: the 163rd Street Bridge (Sunny Isles Boulevard) to the south and the William Lehman Causeway (192nd Street) slightly north of it. Collins Avenue itself continues north and south along the barrier island beyond the city line, but these two bridges are the crossings to the mainland at this corridor.

Airport access

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) is normally the geographically closer major airport to Sunny Isles Beach, with Miami International (MIA) to the south as the other main option — though bridge traffic, nonstop availability, schedule, and fare can all affect which is the better practical choice. Neither airport is directly on the island, so crossing to the mainland first is part of either trip. President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT, formerly PBI) in West Palm Beach is a longer trip, generally reserved for a specific nonstop route.

Trip types

Most bookings here are airport transfers for residents and visiting family, plus shopping and dinner trips down Collins Avenue to Bal Harbour Shops or into Aventura Mall. Event-day coverage during Art Basel and Miami Art Week is available, given how close the island sits to Bal Harbour and Miami Beach.

A note on addresses

The 163rd Street Bridge is also signed as Sunny Isles Boulevard on some maps and GPS apps, which can read as two different roads to a first-time visitor. It is the same crossing. Confirming which bridge a building sits closer to at booking time avoids routing confusion, especially for towers near the middle of the island.

Getting on and off the island

  • Two bridges, no alternative. The 163rd Street Bridge and the William Lehman Causeway (192nd Street) are the only vehicle routes to the mainland.
  • 163rd Street Bridge openings. This one is a drawbridge and can open for boat traffic on a set schedule, holding vehicles on both sides until it closes. The William Lehman Causeway crosses on a fixed span and isn't subject to openings.
  • Collins Avenue. The single road running the length of the island — every address here sits on or just off it, and it is the main source of local congestion at peak times.
  • South to Bal Harbour, north to Hallandale. Collins Avenue continues south into Bal Harbour Shops and north toward Hollywood Beach and Broward County.
  • Peak-season congestion. Collins Avenue slows noticeably during winter season and holiday weekends, when both bridges see heavier inbound and outbound traffic at similar times.

Questions about Sunny Isles Beach

Which bridge does Onyx use to leave Sunny Isles Beach?+
Whichever is faster at the time of pickup — the 163rd Street Bridge or the William Lehman Causeway. Live conditions are checked before dispatch, since the 163rd Street Bridge is a drawbridge that can open for boat traffic.
Do you serve the oceanfront condo towers directly?+
Yes. Tower valet and lobby pickups along Collins Avenue are part of the service here.
Is Fort Lauderdale or Miami International closer for a flight?+
Both require crossing to the mainland first, so the airport itself matters less than the bridge and route used to get there. Tell us your flight and we'll route accordingly.
Can you take me to Bal Harbour Shops or Aventura Mall?+
Yes. Both are a short trip down or up Collins Avenue and are common point-to-point and hourly bookings.
Do you cover Art Basel and Art Week arrivals from Sunny Isles Beach?+
Yes. See the Art Basel Miami Beach page for event-specific scheduling during Art Week.
Can you arrange recurring pickups for a family staying the season?+
Yes. Recurring residence pickups for seasonal residents are booked the same way as a one-off airport transfer, with the same chauffeur and vehicle held for the arrangement.
