"Mondays with the Manager": Seagrape Tree Finds New Home on Surfside’s Beach Hardpack


A beloved seagrape tree once rooted at 303 Surfside (91st street & Harding Avenue) has found a new home by the 91st Street beach hardpack as part of the Town Commission’s ongoing efforts to enhance shade and native vegetation along Surfside’s oceanfront.

The relocation, featured in Episode 8 of "Mondays with the Manager," was made possible through a generous donation by the developer of the 303 Surfside site, who not only contributed the tree but also covered the cost of the move.

"This tree represents more than just a new planting, it’s a symbol of the Town’s commitment to sustainability and beautification,” said Town Manager Mark Blumstein. “We're focused on adding more natural shade and native greenery to our beach areas, and this is just the beginning.”

The Commission has prioritized the revitalization of Surfside’s beach hardpack and dune areas, aiming to increase native vegetation and enhance public spaces for residents and visitors alike.

The transplanted seagrape now stands tall just west of the dunes, offering future shade and visual appeal along the popular path.

"Mondays with the Manager" is a Town of Surfside video series highlighting Town projects, programs and progress directly from the Office of the Town Manager. Watch Episode 8 now on Channel 663/2007 or the Town’s YouTube page.
