COCONUT GROVE

2889 Mc. Farlane Rd Coconut Grove, Florida 33133 • 305.476.3600

Coconut Grove is best known for its relaxed atmosphere, natural beauty, and lush green landscape bordered by the shimmering blue waters of Biscayne Bay. From its beginnings in the late 1800’s, this magical place has attracted tycoons, artists, writers, and musicians alike.

Given the beauty of the Bay, water sports are a predominant passion, while its several marinas, sailing clubs and two yacht clubs host yearly races and international regattas. For those who wish to stay ashore, Coconut Grove has several parks, trails and paths that can be accessible by bike, rollerblades or a relaxing walk or jog. To perfect your golf game, a few world-class courses are located nearby as well. Mayfair and CocoWalk provide a diverse array of stylish boutiques, specialty shops and unique kiosks where visitors and locals can stroll down brick layered and lamppost dotted sidewalks.

Take in the full ambience of the Grove with its covered areas, shady trees, fountains, birds and street performers mixed with a number of sidewalk cafes, terraces and patios that serve that perfect tropical cocktail or “al fresco” lunch to whet your appetite. Coconut Grove’s passion for culture is clearly demonstrated through its world-renowned Coconut Grove Arts Festival where several local and international artists gather to debut their latest collections.
