Coconut Grove is a lush tropical village located just south of downtown Miami along Biscayne Bay with easy access to Miami International Airport, Bayside Park/Port of Miami, South Beach and all major roadways.

The Grove, still a haven for artists, is popular among boating enthusiasts, students from the University of Miami and seasonal and year-round residents who live in one of the single family neighborhoods or possibly along Bayshore Drive in a condominium residence overlooking the bay.

Local artists can often be spotted setting up their easels at the Spanish influenced indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar Tu Tu Tango located at the famous CocoWalk. This outdoor mall is also popular among many UM students who frequent many of the shops and chain stores like The Gap and Banana Republic. Another popular spot is The Shops at Mayfair with more shopping possibilities and the well-known Planet Hollywood.

For the boating enthusiasts there is the Coconut Grove Sailing Club whose mission is to encourage the sport of sailing for all age groups, the Coral Reef Yacht Club filled with history and tradition and the remodeled Dinner Key Marina with over 500 boat slips jutting out into Biscayne Bay.

There are many parks in the Grove such as the exquisite gardens of Vizcaya and home to the James Deering mansion, Barnacle State Park owned by Commodore Ralph Munroe a naturalist, historian and photographer and the Kampong Tropical Garden.

Annual festivities include events like the world-renowned arts festival and the King Mango Strut, originally a parody of the Orange Bowl Parade and now a dark humored staple of the community.

This groovy haven is full of excitement and activities for all to enjoy. To find out more about this hip part of town and the many real estate possibilities contact an Ocean Crest Realty Group Professional to assist you.
