Fisher Island Real Estate

About Fisher Island

Fisher Island is a 216-acre private island off the southern tip of Miami Beach, in ZIP code 33109. There's no bridge — the only way on is the community's vehicle ferry from Terminal Island Road, or a private boat, and every visitor needs security clearance arranged in advance. The ferry runs roughly every ten minutes on weekday mornings and every fifteen minutes otherwise.

The island holds about 800 residences, mostly condominiums spread across 21 separate associations, plus a small enclave of single-family homes called The Links Estates. Every owner belongs to the Fisher Island Community Association automatically; the Fisher Island Club — golf, tennis, the beach, the spa, the market — is a separate membership buyers apply for on top of that, at pricing the Club doesn't publish.

Amenities include a nine-hole course designed by P.B. Dye, 17 tennis courts, two deep-water marinas that handle yachts up to 250 feet, and an on-island school running from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade — relevant for buyers relocating with young children who want schooling on the island itself.

Why buyers choose Fisher Island

01

No bridge, ever

Ferry or private boat only, with security clearance required for any visitor — access control few islands anywhere can match.

02

A second membership, not just a deed

Buying a residence and joining the Club are two separate steps — the amenities sit behind Club membership, not ownership alone.

03

Built for staying, not just visiting

A golf course, two marinas, and an on-island school make it functional as a full-time address, not just a part-time one.

Questions buyers ask

How do you get to Fisher Island?

By the community's vehicle ferry from Terminal Island Road, or by private boat. There's no bridge, and every visitor needs clearance arranged ahead of time.

Is Fisher Island mostly condos or houses?

Mostly condominiums, spread across 21 separate associations. There is a small single-family enclave, The Links Estates, but it's a fraction of the island's roughly 800 residences.

Do I automatically get access to the golf course and beach club if I buy there?

No — property ownership enrolls you in the island's master association automatically, but the Fisher Island Club (golf, tennis, spa, beach) is a separate membership you apply for.

Is there a school on the island?

Yes, an on-island school serving pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
