Golden Beach is a town located in the northeast corner of Miami-Dade County, Florida, between the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 919. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 921.[3]
GeographyGolden Beach is located at (25.964869, -80.122481).[4] It is on the barrier island that separates the Intracoastal Waterway from the ocean; the entire town is about one mile from north to south, and four blocks from east to west. Golden Beach is known as a very upscale community, and many of its houses are worth over a million dollars. Several celebrities, including Bill Gates, Ricky Martin, and a Paul Newman, maintain homes there. The Eric Clapton album 461 Ocean Boulevard was named after the Golden Beach house at that address, a photo of which is also featured on the album cover. The town is surrounded by the cities of Aventura to the west, Sunny Isles Beach to the south, and Hallandale Beach to the north. Another interesting note is that high-rise construction and commercial development are not permitted within the Town limits. The main road through Golden Beach is Collins Avenue, also known as A1A (Beachfront Avenue!); Golden Beach is one of the few stretches of Collins that does not have sidewalks, and it is also one of the most notorious speed traps in the Miami area. The town has an abnormally large police force for its size, most of which is dedicated to speed control along the main road. The police force also mans the guard booth on Collins Avenue, though if you want to enter the town to try to find Ricky Martin you can simply smile and wave as you drive by and the gate will be opened no questions asked. The western portion of Golden Beach is closed to the public and accessible only by the invitation of residents.
