About this city
Also known as: The Grove
Coconut Grove is a historic, upscale neighborhood within the city of Miami, Florida, uniquely positioned along the glistening shores of Biscayne Bay. Founded in 1825 prior to the official incorporation of Miami, it stands as the city's oldest continuously inhabited community, historically attracting an eclectic mix of pioneers, artists, writers, and intellectuals. The Grove is geographically distinguished by its dense, lush canopy of tropical hardwood hammocks, ancient banyan trees, and winding, pedestrian-friendly streets that contrast sharply with the sleek skyscrapers of downtown Miami. This bohemian yet affluent enclave seamlessly blends its rich pioneer heritage with an active sailing culture, featuring prestigious yacht clubs and expansive bayside parks.
