Bay Harbor Islands is a small town in Miami-Dade County made up of two islands near the north end of Biscayne Bay. Founded in 1947 by Shepard Broad, it sits just west of Bal Harbour and Surfside across Indian Creek and connects to North Miami via the Broad Causeway.

The town has a distinct two-island layout. The West Island is primarily single-family homes, many on the water, while the East Island holds the business district, shops and restaurants, and multi-family buildings. The East Island is known for its Miami Modern (MiMo) architecture, now mixed with contemporary residences and boutique waterfront condominiums. Bal Harbour Shops and the beach are a short walk or drive away.
