The city of Surfside is located on the coastline just north of Miami Beach. Surfside is about simple pleasures with a mile of pristine beach, charming shops, diverse restaurants, and luxury beachfront resorts including the brand new The Surf Club Four Seasons by Pritzker Prize winner architect Richard Meier. Small coffee shops and bistros welcome tourists and locals for a scenic casual meal. South of the city of Surfside, the North Shore State Recreation area offers an unspoiled beachfront nature preserves and picnic area. Incorporated in 1935, Surfside boasts many homes built in the Art Deco style and streets named after famous writers and poets, including Abbott, Byron, Carlyle and Dickens.
