Fisher Island is the most private community in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and one of the most exclusive communities in the world. It is set on a 216-acre barrier island of its own that is surrounded by the shimmering blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Established in 1919, the island went through a series of legal battles over its ownership and used to be a one-family island up until the 1980s.
