Rickenbacker Causeway Skyline View (Hobie Island)

The classic Miami skyline photo is taken from here: the Brickell and downtown towers stacked across the bay, seen from the sandy shoulder of the Rickenbacker Causeway on Hobie Island. Palms, calm shallow water and windsurfers in the foreground, the whole skyline dead ahead. Best at blue hour and after dark when the towers light up. Free parking along the causeway; food trucks in the lot. The $4.95 causeway toll applies on the way out toward Key Biscayne. The spot near the Marine Stadium marina at 3401 Rickenbacker gives a slightly tighter angle with the same view.
