Same sun, shores and waters.., fewer thongs and six-pack abs. <br /> <br />Sunny Isles Beach <br /> <br />The Haulover Bridge, completed in 1925, connects Miami Beach to the 2.26-square mile tract called <br />Sunny Isles. Over the years, developers have widened streams, dug canals, and created islands for <br />waterfront properties on Biscayne Bay. As an oceanfront town (20,000 people) bordered by the Atlantic <br />Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, Sunny Isles is just 11 miles up Collins <br />Avenue from the din of South Beach. Motels and beachfront hotels from the 1950s sit side by side with <br />new luxury high-rise condominiums and the elegant hotels that dot the shoreline. <br /> <br />Trump International Beach Resort <br /> <br />The r?:2~~~J~Y~Ci:.~:t!'::~t:jl f.!.c:y::1: f~~'s,'.~: (18001 Collins Avenue) jets up 31 stories with spectacular views <br />of the Atlantic and an uncrowded beachfront that runs forever.
