☰Coconut Grove

Miami's oldest continuously inhabited neighbourhood has a leafy, village-like feel that stands apart from the rest of the city. The main drag along Grand Avenue and CocoWalk has restaurants, cafes, and shops, but the real charm is in the side streets — canopied by banyans, lined with bougainvillea, and quiet enough that you forget you are in a major city. The waterfront is the highlight: Peacock Park and the Barnacle Historic State Park both offer bay views, and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club gives the area a laid-back nautical character.
