Revolutionary access
The Venetian Islands’ history goes back to 1913, the year Collins Bridge was built. It was the first bridge connecting Miami to the archipelago and it was famous at the time for being the longest wooden bridge in the world. It was also an alternative to the ferry to access Miami Beach. Rehabilitated in 1925 and named the Venetian Causeway onwards, it is today a place where joggers, cyclists and walkers meet.
The islands are not only accessible to residents. Tourists are welcome but need to pay the toll fee for the bridge that connects the islands to the mainland.
