About Surfside Beach
Surfside is a small, quiet town on the barrier island between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour. Its beach is quieter than Miami Beach's busier stretches, with a town lifeguard tower behind the Community Center at 93rd Street and Harding Avenue's shops a short walk inland. Water is warm most of the year. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
