Public Works Director assigned this issue to Alan Graham

There is a big different between a service dog and an emotional support dog. The emotional support dog does not have the same rights. You are allowed to ask service dogs what job the dog was trained to do.

If these violations are observed by the public it is best to immediately contact the Surfside Police Department non-emergency number at 305-861-4862, so an officer may be dispatched at the time of occurrence.
The Surfside Police Department Officer will determine if the dog is permitted on the beach according to law. Persons found to be in violation of the Dogs on the Beach Ordinance are informed of the Ordinance, warned that future violations will result in a Citation, and instructed to remove their dog from the beach immediately. If repeat violations occur the dog owner is cited and instructed to remove the dog from the beach.
Thank you
