Exploring Miami’s oldest neighborhood
Coconut Grove, with its tropical and boho vibe, is Miami’s oldest neighborhood and was originally a simple village. Come with us on a trip through the history of the area and visit this neighborhood that many still think of as independent from the main Miami District. Our local guides will let you in on the secrets of ‘The Grove’ during this two-hour walking tour.
An offbeat tour through shady Coconut Grove
Step 1 > Town or neighborhood?
Many residents will tell you that Coconut Grove is a town in its own right. Meet us at our starting point in front of the Art Deco style City Hall to find out the true answer!
Step 2 > A sailing paradise
A walk along the marina gives you the chance to admire the sailors and their yachts, as well as learning more about the local marine wildlife.
Step 3 > The Peacocks and Munroes – founding families of Coconut Grove
Peacock Park, the library and the Women’s Club will take you back to a time when the village was founded.
Step 4 > A small and unique town center
Wander the streets of the city center and soak up its bohemian and artistic atmosphere. Here, we get away from all the excitement of Downtown Miami and the exuberance of South Beach.
Step 5 >The Bahamians – the city builders
Did you know that the Bahamians built a large part of the area? Some of them have become surprising local figureheads held in high regard.
Step 6 > The Grove always surprises you!
Perhaps we’re not that far away from the glitz and superficiality of South Beach… some buildings that at first glance look historic or unpretentious hide particularly unusual secrets!
