surfside beach

We were very disappointed to receive a $158 Surfside traffic ticket after returning home from a trip to the greater Miami area. They'd used a camera to record our driving through an "intersection," a place marked only by traffic lights that are well past the place they expect you to stop -- completely past a crosswalk and a little side street that only intersects from one direction. (We have checked this on Google Maps and it's really clear.) Compounding the problem, we'd just responded to a sign instructing us to change lanes, really just a distraction to set us up to miss the pseudo-intersection. Be very cautious in Surfside, but particularly on Collins at 93rd Street. There's robbery going on in broad daylight right there!

This is just north of South Beach. It's a little quieter and traffic not as congested. Lots of nice restaurants and shopping and high end bal harbour mall is just up the road a short distance. I found the area on the ocean lacking in retail. There wasn't anything for a quick meal or a coffee. Publix is really nice but it is several blocks from the resorts. Beach is endless, has a nice flat walking/biking trail and there are plenty of lifeguard areas

It is very nice and clean beach. Recommended for the beach side games :) We had a group playing volleyball and we joined them and it was so fun. Made new friends here too :)

Beautiful crystal clear water, great beach crew. Beautiful beachfront walking/jogging trail. Wonderful for an early morning walk.

was wonderful, enjoyed the piece and quiet, fresh air, seeing that it was so secure, trip adviser morons require fifty words so i'm still writing but would have stopped sooner butt the trip morons want fifty words

Surfside has a beautiful, natural (well planted) beach, with walking/jogging/cycling paths and super wide for tad more privacy.

Love the place, the ocean and the nice golden sand. Quiet place to relax, enjoy the sea and the sun.

his area is in walking distance to Bal harbour shops. The area is going more upscale with the addition of a new Four Seasons hotel and condo as well as the new Fendi Chateau. Harding has some cute stores and restaurants.

You can be at Surfside 80 blocks north of South Beach in a quite and beautiful beach, without madness, tan or take a jog on the sand without the overwhelming number of people at South Beach and still know that you are enjoying the outrageously gorgeous Atlantic Ocean. Bal Harbour which is a few blocks away and has shopping for truly exclusive but the ordinary regular people are there as well which is nice mix. Surfside beach is where I go to get away from the hustle and bustle of the beach goers to relax, swim and sun for a few hours un-interrupted unless I want to be.Take a shot and you will see that this is for the couples who want it all without the b.s.

The run walkway on the beach is excellent and the sand is clean and perfect for playing in. Great for the single and kids.Far from the main south beach though

Me and my dog lola walk the beach the park everyday the people are friendly we spend at least 2 hour everyday hanging on surfside beach and park plus I live in surfside very area

Ideal for watching the surfers or participants in the sea & sun & being-alive experience! Not to be missed.

Although there are much nicer beaches out there, I can't complain too much because it is still a decent beach. The sand is relatively clean and they do attempt to clean it. We visited this beach on two separate occasions and each day it was quite different. The sand was cleaner one day. The water was also more clear another day. One day there was seaweed and one day there was not. One day there was a lot of seaweed in the water near shore, the other day it was clear. So really it's a matter of chance and weather. My kids enjoyed it both ways, though. We also saw a couple jellyfish in the water one day, so be mindful. We were in the area for my husband's conference; otherwise I would choose a different beach to return to.

Other than a lot of seaweed on the beach and the water being rough, I was pleased with my visit here, the beach wasn't too packed and it was clean.

Expensive if you want a bed and embrella quit and good if you like long walks far away from ocean drive need to take the bus , taxi , are hire a car.
