Browse our pictures of Miami and our selection of Fisher Island photos. Fisher Island is a charming, up-scale, beach-surrounded island that holds the lovely and historical Vanderbilt Mansion. This artificial island lies just three miles off the coast of Miami and bears no physical connection to the land and therefore can only be reached through ferry or helicopter. Home to celebrities and the wealthy, the island’s neighborhood is extremely exclusive. See some of Miami’s glamorous homes in our Fisher Island photos.
