Bal Harbour

Bal Harbour is a small, affluent coastal village in northern Miami-Dade County, incorporated in 1946 along Florida's Atlantic shore. Despite a population of just over 3,000, it draws international visitors largely through the Bal Harbour Shops, one of the highest-grossing luxury retail centers in the United States, anchored by designer boutiques including Chanel, Prada, and Bulgari. Its public beach offers a noticeably quieter alternative to the busier strips of Miami Beach a few miles to the south.
