Top 5 Instagrammable Places in Palmetto Bay

1) Deering Estate 

16701 SW 72nd Ave, Miami, FL 33157

Does history-nature-wildlife sound too odd of a "trio" for your liking? 

Well, you won't be singing the same tune when you visit Palmetto Bay's Deering Estate!

Feast your eyes on one of South Florida's cultural assets and historic sites and Palmetto Bay's proud tourist attraction, Deering Estate, a state-protected park spread across 444 acres of coastal Miami.

Apart from being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Deering Estate is a top destination for nature lovers and adventure-seekers, offering everything from canoe tours and bird walks to moonlit kayaking, boat tours, hiking, nature trails, eco-tours--and more!

And don't think I forgot about your social media feeds-- this famous tourist attraction is a 'sight for sore eyes' with its waterfront views and scenic ambiance!

Just imagine taking a moonlight kayak tour and going island-hopping (!!!) with the full moon shining, or riding on a guided cruise to see Stiltsville, one of Miami's most prized historic sites, to see a small village of seven colorful, stilted houses that once were the discreet playground of the rich and famous!

There won't be a frown in sight once they scroll through your socials!

2) Deering Estate People's Dock 

Biscayne Bay, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157

I'll let you in on another secret-- there's a (not-so) little gem waiting for you on Deering Estate, and it offers you the best seat in the house to catch the sunrise or the sun setting over the whole property!

Folks, I'm talking about the Deering Estate People's Dock!

Safe to say, it's the most Instagrammable spot in the whole estate, and that's saying a lot!

At the People's Dock, you can enjoy birdwatching, manatee and dolphin sighting, family fishing, and even small picnics!

Best of all, come sunrise or sunset, you can just whip out your phone and take the most beautiful photos you can ever imagine-- without effort, nonetheless!

3) Thalatta Estate 

17301 Old Cutler Rd, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157

Are you ready for another round of history and Palmetto Bay's innate beauty?

Let's not beat around the bush-- your Instagram followers await!

Say hello to the famous Thalatta Estate, a beautiful two-story vintage residence designed and built by the Connett family, one of the few homes to grace the shores of Biscayne Bay since the early 19th century.

At Thalatta Estate, you'll find a sprawling property of more than four acres offering unobstructed views of Biscayne National Park, a haven of herons, pelicans, marine iguanas, and other plant and wildlife common to the protected mangroves of the South Miami-Dade coastline.

And aside from the scenic views and wildlife heading your way, the Mediterranean-Revival home is a beautiful structure itself, reflecting an architectural style prevalent after the boom era, with a tower on the third story to add an element of uniqueness!

This Palmetto Bay destination is IG-worthy in its own league-- you can't tell me otherwise!

5) Coral Reef Park 

7895 SW 152nd St, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157

"America's Village of Parks," did you say?

Well then, I can end this blog without recommending a gorgeous park for your socials, can I?

Take a look at Coral Reef Park, a beautiful nature spot tucked away in Palmetto Bay's serene residential spaces with a canal deep enough for kayaking and landscaping that makes the most of Miami's tropical climate!

At Coral Reef Park, you can soak in some peace and quiet at the Ken Robinson Meditation Garden and Gazebo, bring a kayak and paddle down the canal that runs through the park, run around its large, grassy fields, or try your hand at beach volleyball, football, soccer, tennis, or racquetball.

At the Ken Robinson Meditation Garden and Gazebo, you'll find a beautiful white bridge where you can cross over to the other side of the park, and let me tell you, it's one of the best photo-taking spots in Coral Reef Park!

You can't miss out on this beauty!
