Golden Beach is a town in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, between the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean.

[2] Golden Beach is known as a very upscale community, and many of its houses are worth over a million dollars.

In 1981, all but one of the roads into the town from A1A were closed as a means of preventing "criminals, curious tourists from nearby hotels, joggers and Haitian refugees" from entering Golden Beach.

[6] The blockades remained and the Strand continues to be the only road into town and is still patrolled by a police guardhouse.

The approximate coordinates for the Town of Golden Beach is located in the northeast corner of Miami-Dade County at 25°57′54″N 80°07′21″W / 25.964869°N 80.122481°W / 25.964869; -80.122481.

[7] 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.
