1) Surfside Beach 

96th St.-South to 87th St. (along Collins Avenue), Surfside, FL 33154

Beach photos have always been a "star player" on almost everyone's feed, and at Surfside Beach, one can't expect less than gorgeous and effortless snaps.

--The only difference is you'll feel like you're on a private stretch of sand!

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.

At Surfside Beach, you'll find joggers on the lush, elevated dunes on the west and paddleboarders and kite surfers zipping their way across the waves-- a mixed-match scene of nature and beach distinct to this beautiful destination!

Be sure to pack a beach blanket or beach chair if you aren't staying at one of Surfside's oceanfront hotels since there are no public facilities in the area. 

But if you are, just sit back and recline on a comfy lounge chair and enjoy the picture-perfect view!

An oceanfront walking/biking path that runs from 87th Terrace to 96th Street, famous for its fresh sea air and best views of Surfside, the Surfside Walking Path is a well-loved spot on the sands of Surfside Beach for tourists and locals alike.

At the Surfside Walking Path, you'll enjoy a crisp beachy breeze as you take in some of Surfside's impressive architecture along Collins Avenue, including the Four Seasons at Surf Club by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, the Arquitectonica designed Fendi Chateau, and ARTE by Italian powerhouse architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel.

Apart from this, you'll pass through expansive (and mostly untouched) natural areas, which makes the Surfside Walking Path the best backdrop to highlight Surfside's natural and architectural features-- something you NEED to capture for your followers!

5) Surfside Turtle Walk 

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!
