Coconut Grove

"The Grove" has been dubbed "the village with a rhythm all its own." A rhythm that is played out in tree-lined streets, scores of shops, restaurants and night-spots and a throbbing, upbeat street life that vibrates with a character all its own. Located on Biscayne Bay just ten minutes south of Downtown Miami, the Grove is unlike any other neighborhood in Greater Miami and the Beaches.

Coconut Grove's waterfront parks offer the best vantage points for observing manatees, wildlife and the sailboats in Biscayne Bay. Dinner Key, orginally the base for Pan American World Airways' seaplane flights from Greater Miami in the 1930's, now houses Miami City Hall - which was converted from the original hangar. Earlier Grove history is evident at The Barnacle, the 110 year old home of pioneer Commodore Ralph Munroe.

Festivals and street fairs such as the extraordinary Coconut Grove Arts Festival; the Coconut Grove Food and Music Festival (formerly Taste of the Grove); the Miami/Bahamas Goombay Festival and the Banyan Arts Festival, add to Coconut Grove's excitement.

There's nothing dull about shopping in Coconut Grove, from motor-bike to fine jewelry, antique books to gourmet foods, cutting-edge style to classic clothes - the specialty stores on the downtown streets offer an exhilarating range of merchandise. In both CocoWalk's open-air enclave and the Streets of Mayfair strolling zone, shopping is part of the total dining and entertainment experience. Look for stores featuring some of the best known names in retailing, and individually owned shops that epitomize sophistication and cool. And when the joys of shopping fade, you can head for one of the bars or restaurants and round it all off with a movie.

Coconut Grove's variety and originality is reflected in the dining choices offered by its fine restaurants, themed eateries, sports bars and casual outdoor cafes. One the menu find French, Italian or Spanish inspired cuisine; Mexican and American dishes and seafood. In the Grove, eating out is always in good taste. Night life revolves around fun and funky neighborhood bars livened up with jazz, salsa and regae. Nocturnal pursuits focus on the Grove's favorite pastime of seeing and being seen.
