Say hello to Surfside Beach, a picturesque sun-and-sand Surfside destination offering scenic views from sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean to sunset behind the skyline.
Unlike most beaches in Miami Beach, Surfside Beach draws anyone looking for a quiet, crowd-free day under the sun, complete with peaceful sounds and breathtaking nature views.

93rd Street between Collins Ave and Harding Ave., Surfside, FL 33154
If you didn't know, Surfside (and its surrounding beaches) is a famous destination during the sea turtle nesting season (May-October), but if you're visiting off-peak, you can still capture photos of cute sea turtles up close.
Colorful sea turtle SCULPTURES, that is!
Located right next to the Surfside Community Center, on 93rd Street between Collins and Harding avenues, Surfside's famous art activation, the "Turtle Walk," includes 13 colorful turtle sculptures made of resin and fiberglass, each painted by a different renowned local artist.
Each sculpture stands five feet high with a flipper spanning four feet, making it hard to miss— and resist— you stroll through the thoroughfare.
And to top it all off, these turtles depict different themes and scenes, too!
Take a self-guided walking tour through the historic district and keep your eyes peeled for turtles when you're out and about-- these fun-loving creatures are the icons of Surfside and are the best "selfie buddies" for your next Instagram post!
