Surfside is a town in Miami-Dade County, Florida, located on the barrier island between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour.
Incorporated in 1935 by members of the original Surf Club, Surfside calls itself Miami’s Uptown Beachtown. The town has about a mile of beach, quiet residential streets of single-family homes and a small walkable downtown along Harding Avenue.
The historic Surf Club now anchors the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, and a handful of high-end oceanfront condominiums sit along Collins Avenue. Residents are steps from Bal Harbour Shops and close to the restaurants and culture of Miami Beach.
