Why waste an opportunity to explore and discover when visiting Miami's oldest community?

Before Coconut Grove became a trendy shopping and entertainment area, it was a small village built by sea-loving people in the tropical wilderness. 

And through its historic sites, famous museums, and meaningful landmarks, tourists can still get a glimpse of what Coconut Grove offered its pioneers more than a hundred years ago to find out what sets it apart from the rest of Miami!

Come by Peacock Park,  a public bayfront park that honors Charles and Isabella Peacock, who built Miami’s first hotel, the Bay View House, here in 1883, and enjoy an abundance of nature and peacocks freely roaming the area (a signature Coconut Grove treat!).

Another must-see site in the area, The Barnacle brings you Miami's oldest home in its original location. 

The historic destination offers visitors the opportunity to almost re-enter the “Era of the Bay” before Henry Flagler’s railroad came to Miami in 1896 and sparked rapid development.
