Get to know Surfside

It takes a lot to stand out as a beach town in a region defined by its wondrous oceanic proximity, and a lot is what Surfside has. The town — flexing between Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, the Atlantic Ocean, and Biscayne Bay — has hardly wavered in its commitment to a resortlike atmosphere since its 1935 incorporation. For many, it’s all about the laid-back beach, gloriously golden in aura and sand. Oft-coveted high-rise residences and renowned hotels lay just beyond, along Collins Avenue, boasting Atlantic overlooks. Standing most grand is The Surf Club, which opened on New Year’s Eve 1930 as a gathering place for all sorts of revelry. This iconic structure endures today as a hallmark of Surfside’s innate majesty. As you move west across Surfside, homes get less skyward yet no less attractive. Expect timeless South Florida architectural forms, with those on the bayfront often blessed with private docks.

Surfside Commerce & Culture

Beach may be foremost among Surfside’s jobs, but your conception of the town should not stay strictly limited to its sands. Between 94th and 96th streets, Harding Avenue serves as Surfside’s business district, a pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare lined with diverse eateries and swinging palm trees. And, like any worthwhile seaside area, there’s ice cream for the end of long days spent soaking up the sun. The Surf Club also continues its legacy of prestige, housing fine dining establishments and a stylish bar ideal for a memorable night on the town. When not in relaxation mode, residents watch out for their vulnerable loggerhead sea turtle neighbors with dedicated research, conservation, and advocacy efforts. Surfside further celebrates these flippered friends via the Turtle Walk, a public art exhibit comprising over a dozen technicolor fiberglass turtles — each painted by a local artist.
