Surfside Beach is a quaint village on an island where State Highway 332 meets the ocean. With its four miles of unspoiled shoreline, Surfside Beach is a perfect retreat for recreational sports, sun worshippers and nature lovers alike.

Surfside Beach has a variety of local businesses that include motels, rental houses, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Surfside Beach is home to Stahlman Park Conference Center, a 4,000 square foot facility with full amenities and glorious views of the Gulf with beach access. Stahlman Park hosts numerous business and special occasions year round and is available for rent.

The Surfside jetty extends one mile into the Gulf of Mexico and is a great fishing area with a family friendly playground and picnic area. Launch your boat at the public boat ramp with easy entry into the Intracoastal and the closest access in the area to the Gulf.

The Surfside Beach Museum and City Hall are located in the old Coast Guard Boat House. The Museum houses interesting artifacts and photographs depicting the history of the island.
