Surfside Beach, north of Miami Beach

Description

Surfside Beach is a quiet, almost empty beach, north of the Miami action. It is a fairly plain beach, a narrow strip of sand, with a sloped shoreline that is not very good for beach walks. The sand is a pale white-gray and the water is a pretty green color, even at dawn and dusk. Some people smoke on the beach and you will find cigarette butts, which is a shame. There is an unpaved bike path that runs beside sea grape trees just back from the beach. Surfside town has some cafes on a main strip called Harding Ave (at 95th Street) but to get there you must drive through lots of hectic traffic with aggressive drivers.
After, check out the amazing plants, flowers, sculptures, and fountains at Bal Harbour Outdoor Mall, an eleven minute walk or four minute drive. It is probably the richest mall you will ever visit.
