Coconut Grove is often hailed as one of the top sailing destinations in the United States and hosts a number of world class regattas such as the Columbus Day
Regatta, Orange Bowl Youth Regatta and BACARDI Sailing Week.
A local’s guide to
Coconut Grove
Miami’s original community
by the bay since 1873
Miami’s original neighborhood was founded in 1873 by an eclectic mix of pioneers,
artists, intellectuals and adventurers and the tropical oasis of Coconut Grove thrives
to this day as Miami’s escape from the stress of city life. In the middle of Miami,
yet completely separate, Coconut Grove offers a warm, laid-back atmosphere of
boutiques, shady lanes, sidewalk cafes and quaint watering holes with a distinctly
bohemian flair where one can drop in and chill out every day of the week, any time
of the year. Inside you will find great options for what to see and do, as well as a
detailed map and expert advice from local “Grovites.” Get your Grove on!

Available for private parties, the secret garden behind Strada is a charming outdoor
space adorned with an herb garden that runs up a wall. At night, it’s aglow with
twinkling lights and covered with a trellis of vines so be sure to ask to sit in the back.

La Cava Under La Bottega
Under La Bottega, below the open kitchen where you can pull up a chair and watch
their skilled chefs whip up your mean, and far below the garden outdoor seating, is
a secret lair for the serious wine lover. La Cava is a private members only club that
includes private wine lockers and other, very secretive, amenities (like discounted
wine bottles and a place for catered gatherings). labottegasociale.com

You’ve probably had a
boring Saturday night when you sit
around saying there’s nothing to do –
don’t let that be the first Saturday of the
month. Fashion + Art + Music Nights are
culture packed nights when galleries open
their doors, trunk shows take over the
boutiques and live music fills the streets.

fresh snapper sandwich, the Sunday
night “In The Biz Night” and the
chicken wings, but if you haven’t taken
a close look at the beer menu lately, you
haven’t discovered the true hidden gem. As
far as we know, it’s the only place around you
can play beer pong with Bell’s Two Hearted Ale.
