TOURIST VISUAL GUIDE
Local Attractions
The Shul is located in Surfside, Florida and serves as a Jewish Community Center for these four neighborhoods in Miami: Surfside, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands and Indian Creek. Above, you can find a Google Map with icons for some useful information for our guests.
Besides the famous shopping of Bal Harbour Shops and the beautiful beaches near The Shul, the greater Miami area has a lot of great spots to visit for a memorable vacation. Please keep in mind that while some places may say that they are kosher, please check their hashgacha. As a general tip, try to take an Uber or cab to most places as parking in Miami, especially in season, can be quite difficult and is highly enforced.
