Hugging the shoreline of Biscayne Bay, Coconut Grove is an upscale, leafy neighborhood with relaxed sidewalk cafes and chic shops in and around the CocoWalk mall. The area's several green spaces include bay-front Barnacle Historic State Park, home to a mangrove forest, and the iconic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, centered on a lavish Italian-style villa. Sailing clubs and marinas dot the waterfront.

"Strangely, you won’t find a lot of coconut trees here, as the neighborhood got its name when mail ships mistook it for another part of Miami that was, in fact, full of coconuts. What you will find is a lush collection of winding streets and cozy bungalows, and a commercial district filled with some of the best restaurants in the city. What was once a nightlife hub has transformed into an outdoor dining destination, where you’ll find everything from farm-fresh burgers at Lokal, to fine dining in a park at Glass and Vine, to the best truffle fries you’ll ever have at Taurus Beer and Whiskey. Though bars here aren’t what they once were, you can still drink with locals at Barracuda or Tavern in the Grove, or enjoy cocktails by the water at Monty’s." - MATADOR_NETWORK
