A luxurious private chain of artificial islands tucked in the Miami Beach archipelago, Sunset Islands, is a tropical retreat for the rich and famous-- and a unique, friendly destination for dogs and their owners in Miami Beach!
Known as one of the most highly desired addresses in South Florida since its creation, Sunset Islands is a group of four islands lying on South Florida's Biscayne Bay, between Sunset Harbor and the Julia Tuttle Causeway.
The islands are as follows: Sunset Island I, Sunset Island II, Sunset Island III, and Sunset Island IV.
They are connected to Miami with bridge access, providing high levels of security and privacy to the islands' residents.
Though Sunsets Islands are not frequented by tourists, as they are more residential than public, it's all the more reason to take a quick trip to these majestic islands!
A secluded residential enclave amidst the vibrant South Beach, Miami Beach, and Downtown Miami?
Indeed, the ultimate definition of tropical luxury and these islands are all yours (and your pup's!) for the taking!
Here's a list of dog-friendly parks near the Sunset Islands.

And the good news?
It's only a 7-minute drive from Sunset Islands.
Iconic pergolas embrace the park edges, their shape inspired by the puffy cumulous clouds inherent in South Florida's tropical climate.
Their hand-fabricated painted aluminum structures not only provide shade but also support the spectacular blooms of bougainvillea vines, highlighting a threshold of color at the park's points of entry.
One of the park's most prominent features is an unprecedented, distinctive, and ambitious audio-visual program that creates an outdoor theatre – offering free performances at concert-level quality.
The design of a family of custom architectural elements– the Ballet Bar, the Projection Tower, and the Media Hydrants – transformed what could have been an overwhelming number of park structures into an integrated and lyrical park element.
This 2.5-acre urban park welcomes well-behaved, leashed dogs at most of its events, including concerts, films, yoga, and other public gatherings.
Dogs are allowed on the park grounds but not in the adjacent New World Symphony building.
