About This Route
Coral Gables in an Open Slingshot
Coral Gables was designed to be beautiful — wide, tree-canopied boulevards, Mediterranean-revival architecture, and the kind of unhurried elegance that feels like a different era. In an open-air Polaris Slingshot, those boulevards become a sensory experience unlike any other. Wind through the banyan tunnels on Granada Blvd, cruise past the Biltmore tower, and let the jasmine-scented air hit you as you roll down Miracle Mile.
This is the route for people who want something different from Ocean Drive's chaos. Coral Gables is refined, scenic, and completely underrated as a Slingshot destination. Pair it with Coconut Grove for one of the best half-day routes in Miami.
