ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Surfside Casual Furniture started in 1981 in Ocean City by Larry Himmelstein. This mom and pop corner furniture store was thriving, but Himmelstien wanted more as the market and industry began to morph. Finally, they opened up Surfside Casual in Somers Point, a central location right before travelers made their way to the shore towns. Robert, Larry’s son, now carries on the legacy his father began.
