Normandy Shores

Normandy Shores is the northern part of Normandy Isle: a two-island residential community connected to Miami Beach via the 71st street. Normandy Shores is a guard-gated community, with public access at Biarritz Road and a residents-only entry and exit way off of North Shore Drive.

In 1926, Henri Levy, owner of a successful chain of silent film theaters, moved to Miami Beach from Ohio and took the once marshy land, and dredged it for 2 continuous years to make Normandy Isle. In honor of Levy’s heritage, streets were named after french cities, such as Marseille and Calais Drive.
