Surfside

Just north of Miami Beach, Surfside is home to luxury resorts, postcard-perfect white sand beaches, and a scenic downtown with retro flair. The walkable city, which covers one square mile, is considered Miami’s uptown beach community, where palm tree-lined sidewalks lead to inviting cafes, restaurants, synagogues, and shops.

Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club, one of the most lavish resorts in Miami, can be found in Surfside housed within the historic 1930s Surf Club, which once counted Winston Churchill, Tennessee Williams, and Elizabeth Taylor among its guests. Today, guests can enjoy world-class dining at the Michelin-starred Surf Club Restaurant, fine Italian dining at Lido Restaurant at the Surf Club, and the largest selection of champagnes in Miami at The Champagne Bar.

Surfside’s restaurants also offer a wide selection of kosher dining. Eateries featured on Miami’s Jewish Cultural Tour itinerary include Josh’s Deli, which offers a modern spin on Jewish deli classics, and Kosh Sushi & Grill, which combines classic kosher steakhouse fare with an extensive sushi menu.

The town’s family-friendly amenities include the oceanfront Surfside Community Center, which features a recreational pool, children’s pool, water slide, cafe, jacuzzi, and snack bar. Families with children will also enjoy seeing the Turtle Walk, a collection of 13 large, brightly colored fiberglass sea turtles, shopping at Sunny’s Toys and Gifts, and getting frozen treats at Serendipity Yogurt Café.
