Newport Fishing Pier

Fishing is one of the most popular activities in Miami Beach so you can find many places to do it. One of the best is the Newport Pier, built in wood in the 80's. However, the regular hurricanes and the saltwater meant that it deteriorated rapidly, so it had to be renovated about two years ago. At present, it has benches along the harbor where visitors can sit and read or enjoy views of the Sunny Isles bay. There's also a restaurant, bar and lounge area with cocktail-style tables. The pier is open 24/7, 365 days a year. It costs $2 to pass through, or $5 if you'd like to fish (although if you hold a Sunny Isles residence card, then access is free and fishing is just $2).
