Hugging the shoreline of Biscayne Bay, Coconut Grove is an upscale, leafy neighborhood with relaxed sidewalk cafes and chic shops in and around the CocoWalk mall. The area's several green spaces include bay-front Barnacle Historic State Park, home to a mangrove forest, and the iconic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, centered on a lavish Italian-style villa. Sailing clubs and marinas dot the waterfront.

Things to do in Coconut Grove:

Coconut Grove Saturday Organic Market: Feed your soul, nourish your body and stock your fridge at Glaser Organic Farms’ weekly market. Aside from fresh produce and a vegan cold-food bar, the event brings out numerous local vendors from the health and wellness space.

The Kampong: A stunning, nine-acre botanical garden with an Indonesian-inspired house set by a lagoon, which has been visited by the likes of Winston Churchill, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Dwight Eisenhower in its storied past.

David T. Kennedy Park: A charming waterfront park with walking/cycling trails, a dog park, outdoor fitness equipment, volleyball courts and the very Instagrammable Miami-etched benches that face Biscayne Bay.

Vicky's House: A whimsical, ’80s-themed milkshake bar serving indulgent, pop-culture inspired creations and ice-cream floats, plus beer and wine. There’s a full living room setup in the back designed to look just like owner Matt Kuscher’s childhood home, complete with retro video game consoles.

Books & Books: A superb independent shop stocked with bestsellers but also lots of small publishers. Its wooden-floored rooms include one devoted to antiquarian rarities and another to kids’ books, and its café serves up reliably delicious sandwiches, pastries, coffee and tea.

CocoWalk: A luxurious multistory, semi-outdoor mall filled with high-end retail stores and delicious restaurants.
