Venetian Causeway Drawbridge

The Venetian Causeway Drawbridge is one of Miami's most charming functional landmarks. Spanning the waterway between Miami and Miami Beach, this historic drawbridge lifts to allow boat traffic to pass, offering a glimpse into the city's working maritime life that most visitors never see from the highway. Walking or cycling across the Venetian Causeway is a beloved local activity, and the drawbridge is a highlight of that route. You get sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, the Downtown skyline, and the parade of boats moving through the channel — a quintessentially Miami experience.
