Did you know that Coconut Grove is Miami’s oldest neighborhood? Neither did I! In fact, I didn’t know much about Coconut Grove before I visited.
While most people opt to stay in Miami Beach or Key Biscane by the ocean, those looking for something different will find plenty of things to do in Coconut Grove, Miami.
Not only is South Beach and Little Havana a 20 minute Uber ride away, and downtown Miami only 10 minutes, but it has a relaxing, bohemian vibe and a chilled out atmosphere that beckons you to go slow. Not the kind of vibe you expect from Florida’s biggest city.
From chilling out in urban parks to shopping for boutiques to stepping back in time at a 19th century mansion, there is much to see and do in this 14.5 square kilometer area.
We loved our day exploring Coconut Grove in Miami. Below we have shared some of our favorite attractions, family-friendly activities, and places to visit in the neighborhood.
