Developed and incorporated in the mid-twentieth century, Bal Harbour has long been considered one of the most elite and affluent sections of the Miami Beach area. Located north of the more modest beachfront town of Surfside, Bal Harbour quickly announces its pedigree with the premier Bal Harbour Shops, which include such names as Valentino, Neiman Marcus, Tori Burch and David Yurman. Bal Harbour is exclusive, tiny—less than two-thirds of a square mile—and boasts its own marina and beach.
