Much like restaurants, finding a shopping mall in Eastern Shores is a no-go since it's one of North Miami Beach's most exclusive enclaves.

But beyond its gates?

Well, THAT is a different story.

You see, shopping around Eastern Shores is like going on a treasure hunt, but instead of dusty relics, you're unearthing stylish finds and fabulous deals.

Take Intracoastal Mall, for instance.

A quick hop from your front door, North Miami Beach's Intracoastal Mall boasts all the essentials. 

Need to stock up on groceries? Check. 

Looking for a last-minute outfit? Done. 

Whether you're in the mood for some light retail therapy or want to wander the stores, this spot lets you grab everything you need without straying too far from home.

For those who crave a bit more luxury, Aventura Mall is just around the corner, ready to spoil you with its array of high-end stores, trendy boutiques, and enough shoe options to make your closet burst at the seams. 

It's the kind of retail destination where you can go in for "just one thing" and come out with bags full of everything you didn't know you needed.

Last but not least (definitely far from it!) is the Bal Harbour Shops, a mecca of luxury shopping perfect for those moments when you're feeling too fancy for your own good. 

Stroll through the beautifully landscaped open-air mall, peek into designer stores, and maybe even treat yourself to something shiny — it's all part of the signature Bal Harbour Shops experience.

Happy hunting!

Is Eastern Shores a secluded paradise?

Well, not exactly.

While it is, indeed, one of North Miami Beach's most prized gated communities, Eastern Shores is also your launchpad to a few of the best destinations across North Miami Beach and Miami in general.

In fact, most famous tourist spots are just a quick train or bus ride from home — that is if you don't feel like hauling a car on your trip!

First on the list is the Ancient Spanish Monastery, a famous reconstructed monastery dating back to 1133 AD, where visitors transport themselves back to 12th-century Spain or feel like they've gone on a day trip to Europe!

With its stunning medieval architecture and peaceful gardens, you can almost hear history whispering through the stone walls.

If art is more your style, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) packs a punch with its ever-changing exhibits and installations from local and international artists. 

Get lost in thought, inspiration, and maybe even a few abstract sculptures — at MOCA, beautiful art masterpieces are your birthright!

And don't forget that communities like Aventura, Bal Harbour, and Sunny Isles Beach are only minutes from Eastern Shores!

If your feet are still itching for more adventure, new experiences are just a heartbeat away!
