You see, West Miami also boasts proximity to several Miami tourist destinations (and Instagram-worthy spots!), providing an aesthetically pleasing, bountiful timeline—and travel itinerary— for those who dare to visit!

2000 Alhambra Cir, Coral Gables, FL 33134
A "lighthouse" that has never seen the sea, the famous Alhambra Water Tower is a testament to founder George Merrick's vision for the City of Coral Gables at a time when "everyday mishaps" were turned into "works of art."
And yes, it's a picturesque, history-filled spot you can visit for the best photos overlooking "City Beautiful!"
Located in north Coral Gables at the Alhambra Circle, just a 3-minute drive from West Miami, the water tower was built in 1924, comprising two separate structures.
The inner circle tank, purely utilitarian in looks and purpose, was enclosed in a reinforced concrete and wood frame structure designed to resemble a lighthouse.
It concealed the less attractive water tank inside with an aesthetically pleasing and architecturally playful facade.
During its heydays, the Alhambra Water Tower was part of the city's water supply system.
Today, Alhambra Water Tower is part of the Coral Gables Register of Historic Places and a famous tourist spot where visitors can see breathtaking city views!
For a more jaw-dropping experience, visit Alhambra Water Tower at night and witness this structure illuminated in the dark!
It'll be the best photo yet!

2701 De Soto Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33134
Drive 5 minutes from West Miami and take a dip in Coral Gables' Venetian Pool, a beautiful oasis inspired by Mediterranean architecture, now part of Miami's rich history!
Originally a limestone rock quarry created by George Merrick to be a local hangout, the Venetian Pool is a sight to behold, where visitors will find swaying palm trees, coral rock formations, whimsical waterfalls, and interesting caves to explore.
Large enough to hold 820,000 gallons of fresh water from an underground aquifer, the Venetian Pool draws water from artesian wells in the summer and remains the perfect place to cool off and swim, especially during the hot and humid days of Florida weather!
Apart from "actual swimming," visitors can soak up some Coral Gables history through a series of pictures hanging at the entryway, adding to its allure.
Oh, and don't forget picture-taking!
With this, the Venetian Pool has earned a spot on the NRHP (National Register of Historic Places), the ONLY swimming pool in the U.S. with such an esteemed and iconic reputation!
