Surfside Beach

Surfside Beach is a vibrant destination perfect for families, surfers, and nature enthusiasts. With its soft sandy shores and powerful waves, it offers an ideal setting for beach games, picnics, and long walks by the ocean. Lifeguards on duty during the summer ensure a safe experience for swimmers, while a concession stand and nearby facilities provide convenience for visitors. Accessible via a bike path or The Wave shuttle, Surfside Beach is both easy to reach and well-equipped for a full day of fun. Remember to use caution when entering and exiting the water on days where the shore break is strong and always be mindful of the flag color the lifeguards are flying.
