About Surfside
Surfside's beach is the quiet stretch in front of the condos and a handful of hotels between 88th and 96th Streets. The town keeps one lifeguard tower, and most amenities, such as chair service and the community centre's beach wheelchair, are for residents and Surfside hotel guests.
Come for an unhurried swim near the guarded tower and lunch on Harding Avenue, the town's small main street.
