Surfside Beach is a charming community with beach and canal houses, and local businesses.  Void of skyscrapers and high rises Surfside has the charm of coastal communities of yesteryear, with modern conveniences and a vision of the future.

Surfside Beach is considered the Cradle of Texas where some of the "Original 300 Settlers" first set foot on Texas soil.  Home to the famous Fort Velasco, Surfside is the location where the first battle prior to the war for Texas Independence was fought and where Santa Ana signed the Treaty of Velasco recognizing Texas as an Indepndent country.
