Golden Beach is known as a very upscale community, and many of its houses are worth over a million dollars. Several celebrities, including Bill Gates, own homes there. Eric Clapton’s album 461 Ocean Boulevard was named after the Golden Beach house at that address, a photo of which is also featured on the album cover. High-rise construction and commercial development are not permitted within the town limits.

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