Why Coconut Grove
The Grove in an Open Slingshot
Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighborhood — and the one that still feels like a real village. Tree-shaded streets, a working marina, bayfront parks, and CocoWalk's open-air dining create the perfect environment for an unhurried Slingshot cruise. The canopy above Bayshore Drive is so dense it filters the afternoon sun into golden strips that fall across the road.
The Grove pairs perfectly with Coral Gables for a longer afternoon loop. Spend 2 hours in the Grove — Dinner Key waterfront, CocoWalk village, Vizcaya's exterior — then head west through the banyan tunnels to the Biltmore. One of Miami's best half-day routes.
