Top 5 Instagrammable Places in Cocoplum

1) Tahiti Beach - Beach 

Tahiti Beach Island Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33143

If you're a non-resident visiting Cocoplum's exclusive community, it's probably because you have connections with the "higher-ups," a.k.a Cocoplum or Tahiti Beach residents (lucky you!).

And if my hunch is right, you better gather those connections and get yourself access to Tahiti Beach's private beach because, I'm telling you, all that buttering up will be worth it!

Serving as a second gated community within Cocoplum, Tahiti Beach (the neighborhood) features magnificent waterfront homes with lavish details on sprawling lawns and gardens with lush tropical foliage and spectacular views from sunrise to sunset. 

It is an exclusive residential area of 26 stunning estate homes on an island with--get this--private beach access!

Yes, Tahiti Beach has its OWN beach! 

While quaint and uber-private, Tahiti Beach's beach (no pun intended) is serene with picturesque views, a few greens and coconut trees, and THE perfect spot for your "sun-sand-and-sea" themed IG photos-- but don't expect any public amenities!

It's also in front of private properties, so please, be sure to avoid disturbing the residents' privacy while you're there!

2) Cocoplum Yacht Club 

6500 Prado Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33143

The centerpiece of Cocoplum and probably the most famous part of the neighborhood, the Cocoplum Yacht Club is a significant draw for South Florida's affluent boaters and a spot you can't miss for overlooking water views and beautiful photos of private boats and yachts afloat!

While the actual Yacht Club is for "members-only," Cocoplum residents can purchase a slip for their boat or yacht and have direct access (no bridges) to Biscayne Bay for maximum time on the water.

Then, from your (or your friend's) boat, you can snap the best photos for your socials or fly that drone for jaw-dropping aerial shots of the marina-- oh, what a view!

3) Cocoplum Clubhouse

155 Isla Dorada Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33143

Another perk of being on Cocoplum (or knowing someone from the "inside") is gaining access to the community's premium amenities, including Cocoplum's Private Clubhouse, available exclusively for residents!

At the Cocoplum Clubhouse, there are tennis courts, a basketball court, a volleyball court, a fitness center, a vast kids' playground, and a swimming pool-- everything you'd expect from an exclusive neighborhood!

It is also where most residents celebrate their private parties, including birthdays, corporate holiday celebrations, etc.

Given its size, and its classy, sophisticated decors and interiors, it'll be easy to find the perfect spot to take your IG-worthy photos within the Cocoplum Clubhouse!

Not to mention, the Cocoplum Clubhouse is a good place to pass the time, too, while you're on the island!

4) Commodore Trail - South-End Trailhead 

Cocoplum Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33143

If you're a "bike-head" who loves trails and scenic routes, there's no way you should miss out on a visit to the Commodore Trail-- especially since it connects to the Old Cutler trails south end, which is, coincidentally, right by the Cocoplum Circle!

At the Commodore Trail, you can enjoy a varied ride through scenic neighborhoods and central Coconut Grove, passing several parks and historic sites.

The Commodore Trail meanders roadside along several roads (with route markers, of course), varying from a dedicated trail to a narrow sidewalk, a bike lane, a shoulder, and a shared roadway with many road crossings and driveways.

Meanwhile, if you're starting your ride at the south end (as you're on Cocoplum), cross the bridge over historic Coral Gables Waterway to scenic Ingraham Park and continue through residential areas along Edgewater Dr., Douglas Rd., and Main Hwy. 

Then, lead into central Coconut Grove with its restaurants, shops, galleries, churches, hotels, and parks.

Ahh.. imagine all the places you visit for the best IG photos!

Just be sure to avoid taking photos while on the road since motorists and trail runners/walkers also pass by the Commodore Trail.

5) Ingraham Park

4751 Ingraham Terrace, Coral Gables, FL 33133

A leafy public park featuring shaded benches, a playground, and scenic water views, Coral Gables' Ingraham Park is one of several nature spots you can visit for jaw-dropping nature shots around Cocoplum, especially since it's only a 4-minute drive!

An eclectic little spot with over two acres of open spaces and picnic tables, Ingraham Park has recently been revamped into a neighborhood park of elegance. 

From its stunning fountain inspired by the Palace of Alhambra in Granada, Spain, to its enhanced landscaping, exercise stations, walking & jogging paths, misting machines, inviting benches, and more-- it's a sight to behold!

Along with Ingraham Park's reconstruction, you'll find a new bright red bridge enhancing the Commodore Bike Trail. 

The bridge provides bicyclists and pedestrians a safe crossing over the Coral Gables Waterway between Cocoplum Circle and Ingraham Park.

Convenient, beautiful, and best of all, free-- it's a "no-brainer" photo spot to visit while you're on Cocoplum!
