In 1913, a 2.5 mile (4 km) long wood bridge connected the mainland to Miami Beach.
Today, the wood bridge has been replaced by a causeway composed of 12 bridges and the 6 Venetian Islands: Biscayne, San Marco, San Marino, Di Lido, Rivo Alto and Belle Isle
The phenomenal intracoastal views and designated pathways make the Venetian Causeway ideal for walking, jogging, roller skating and biking
With the exception of The Standard Hotel in Belle Isle, the Venetian Islands are a residential neighborhood. Mostly single family homes, but on Belle Isle and on Biscayne Island you can find high rise condominiums
