City Focused on Resident Wellbeing and Infrastructure
The City of Sunny Isles Beach is actively promoting community health and engagement with several events scheduled this week. Today, May 26, 2026, the city is observing 3D Mammogram Day, providing an important health screening service for residents. Following this, a Senior Roundtable is scheduled for May 27, offering a platform for older adults in the community to connect and discuss relevant topics. These initiatives follow the Memorial Day federal holiday observed on May 25. The city continues to keep residents informed through its Sunny News portal, which features the latest official updates and announcements. In a recent highlight, the Sunny Isles Beach Ocean Rescue division earned a prestigious certification from the United States Lifesaving Association, underscoring their commitment to beach safety. The city also recently launched a new bus app to improve public transportation convenience for its residents.
Major Developments Reshaping the City’s Skyline
Sunny Isles Beach is experiencing a period of significant real estate development that will dramatically alter its skyline. The city commission has approved the construction of the Miami Beach Club, a 62 story condominium project that will become the tallest building in the city. This development is part of a broader trend of luxury high rise construction in the area. Other major approved projects include the two tower 62 story St. Regis Residences and the 62 story Bentley Residences, which will add hundreds of new residential units to the city. To facilitate these new projects, temporary sales centers have also been approved. The city is also investing in infrastructure improvements to support this growth. The Collins Avenue Undergrounding project is ongoing, with crews currently working on secondary line connections in the Central Island area. Other active capital projects include the new Intracoastal Sports Park, which recently broke ground, and renovations to Bella Vista Bay Park.
Beach and Ocean Conditions
Beachgoers in Sunny Isles Beach should exercise caution due to the presence of rip currents and jellyfish in the water. The ocean water temperature is a pleasant 80 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 27 degrees Celsius). Today’s low tide occurred at 10:50 AM, with the next high tide expected later in the day. The surf is currently calm with wave heights generally between one and two feet. The ultraviolet index is very high, so sun protection is strongly recommended for anyone spending time on the sand.

This innovative program will allow for quicker response times and better situational awareness during emergencies. The city also continues to enforce its ordinance restricting motorized scooter use to individuals aged 16 and older to ensure the safety of pedestrians and riders.
