Coconut Grove Commerce & Culture
Biscayne Bay isn’t just for aesthetic pleasure here — though it is nice to look at — it’s integral to life. Docks spill out into the water from buzzing marinas, sites where mingling with friends and neighbors comes second only to sailing onto the sea. Once out there, delight in activities of all speeds, from fishing to jet skiing. Naturally, bayside dining is also a pastime for residents of The Grove, bites of the day’s freshest catches perhaps rivaled by sunset views. More dining options lay inland, where Coconut Grove’s cuisine transports you from five miles outside Downtown Miami to all around the globe. Similarly, the annual Goombay Festival celebrates the vibrant cultures of Coconut Grove with a carnival, food, and music. Coconut Grove’s shady sidewalks are loaded with stores for your perusal, including independent bookstores and curated fashion boutiques.
