Little did I know how many oceanfront properties existed from Miami beach to Palm Beach until I checked out Seaside Properties Group's website. Take Fisher Island for example, an island that is 3 miles off shore of the mainland South Florida, was created in 1905 by a dredging project that happened all over Miami Beach. It was owned by millionaires  over the last century and for the most part remained somewhat private and exclusive.

Today Fisher Island is inaccessible to the public according to Wikipedia, however there are celebrities that have homes on the island such as Oprah Winfrey and Mel Brooks. There are Luxury oceanfront condos on Fisher Island but I would imagine it would cost a small fortune to acquire such a property. Another interesting thing about Fisher Island is that there are no roads or causeway that connects to the island, it is only accessed by private boat or ferry.

Luxury oceanfront condos at One Bal Harbour are more accessible since they are on the mainland. The population in the area is definitely larger compared to Fisher Island and the is more open to the public. In general, I'd say luxury oceanfront condos at Bal Harbour is most likely to be more affordable. If you were given the opportunity, which place would you choose?
