Do you know what the real flex is about living in Deering Bay?

There's a long list, but the all-access pass to Deering Bay's country club lifestyle wins by a landslide.

And not just for the reasons you might expect.

Beyond your breezy days on the water, the Deering Bay Marina — tucked into the Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club — holds a few extra cards in leveling up your Instagram feed.

Picture a show-stopping Arnold Palmer golf course, postcard-worthy clubhouse, palm-lined tennis courts, sun-splashed terraces for those effortless "just another Thursday" shots, and sleek yachts bobbing against the Biscayne Bay horizon, all waiting for their close-up at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club.

It's a goldmine for effortless, off-the-cuff photos.

The best part is it's strictly members and guests only, so your posts stay as crisp, rare, and quietly glamorous as your zip code.

2) Chapman Field Park 

13601 Deering Bay Dr, Coral Gables, FL 33158

Trade city noise for squawking herons, tangled trails, and mangrove mazes at Chapman Field Park, a low-key launchpad for outdoor adventure just 4 minutes from Deering Bay, right at the entrance!

Contrary to what you might think, it's not a park with souvenir stands or crowded boardwalks — Chapman Field Park is raw Florida, where muddy sneakers, salty breezes, and manatee sightings are part of the experience.

Slip a kayak into the still water, weave through leafy tunnels, or follow quiet dirt trails that lead to sun-bleached clearings made for hammock naps and lazy afternoon picnics.

And no, there's no need to rush — here, even the tide takes its time — so bring a camera, bring your curiosity, and let Chapman Field show you a side of Miami most people never see.

Hunting for a few fresh snapshots? You won't have to look far — every corner of this waterfront wonderland comes ready-made for the camera, with storybook lawns, towering palms, and timeless coastal views.

Paddle out under the full moon on a nighttime kayak tour or hop aboard a bay cruise and glide past the colorful relics of Stiltsville, a quirky village of stilt houses once known for throwing Miami's most off-the-radar parties.
