Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Hibiscus Island Area

"Bayside Marketplace is a great location for the start of your tour. It is an energetic place with loads of shops, restaurants and shops, plus everything is accompanied by live music. Essentially, this is a shopping mall out in the open, so you can do your shopping or simply sit down for a drink right next to the bay, but in any case, you will be able to get a sense of what Miami is all about very quickly. The place is buzzing with people from all over the world, be they tourists or locals, and visiting it is a great way to energize yourself for the day ahead."

"Finish your trip with a relaxing day in Bayside. With its colorful garden, its colonial architecture and its history, Villa Vizcaya is beautiful and really worth the trip. You can easily spend half a day there. Try and spot the multicolored giant lizards outside."

"Originally established in New York City in 1964, this Miami art museum was moved to a former DEA confiscation center by Jason and Jennifer Rubell in 1993. One of the world’s largest privation collections, the Rubell Family Collection features works from Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Kara Walker, and Jean-Michel Basquiat."

"Head first to CocoWalk, where there is ample covered parking. Stroll through CocoWalk’s colorful boutiques and kiosks. When hunger strikes, head for Chili’s, Fat Tuesdays, Duffy’s Sports Grill or the Cheesecake Factory. If you’re in the mood for Latin food, check out Jaguar Ceviche Spoon Bar & LatAm Grill (next door to CocoWalk) or stroll over to the Sonesta Bayfront Hotel and sample excellent Peruvian fare at Panorama (located on the hotel’s 8th floor) which boasts a spectacular view of Dinner Key Marina sailboats and Biscayne Bay."

"Grab the car and spend the afternoon in Coconut Grove strolling through the Tuscan-style pedestrian mall CocoWalk, which includes hundreds of shops, restaurants and bars. A hidden favorite down the road, Monty’s, is ideal for waterfront afternoon drinking and the occasional local band. Walk along the dock to admire boats of all shapes and sizes."

"In the heart of Coconut Grove lies this beautiful outdoor shopping complex. From shopping to seeing a movie, to enjoying nightly entertainment in the Courtyard, you can make a whole day of exploring the Cocowalk. Stores include Coco Cigars, Gap, Maui Nix Surf, Coco Sun, Sportive, Victoria’s Secret, and 305 Wireless & Accessories."

"Spread across eight square blocks just off Washington Avenue, this breezy, open-air shopping street offers a high-low variety in a tropical sun-drenched setting. With over seventy-five shops ranging from national brands like H&M and Sephora to specialty boutiques, spend the day window-shopping with a friend or bring the entire family. After some serious retail therapy, sit down at your choice of sixty local restaurants including Havana 1957 for authentic Cuban cuisine or duck into SuViche for a tuna tartare and a glass of Peruvian macerados."

"Arguably Miami's most well-known shopping center, the Lincoln Road Mall in South Beach is full of stores, boutiques, art galleries, and museums. Nearly the entire area of this open-air mall is closed to automobile traffic, making it a great place to stroll and people watch. You'll find Urban Outfitters, Madewell, Steve Madden, Melissa Shoes, Scotch & Soda, Nike, Lacoste, Forever 21, Adidas by Stella McCartney, BCBG Max Azria, Anthropologie, Ted Baker, Zara, Victoria’s Secret, American Eagle, Zadig & Voltaire, Lululemon Athletica, and more."

"A post shared by Thomas ONeill (@tjoneillinc) on May 10, 2017 at 5:42pm PDT. Lincoln Road has quickly become a Miami shopping hot spot especially since the area has been closed off to pedestrian traffic only. The street runs east to west and is parallel to 16th and 17th street."

"You also have the Dolphin Mall relatively close to you. However, if you can’t spare too many hours, there are some interesting things to do in Miami airport, as well. The food is great, and you can try many Cuban specialties to get a taste of what it’s like around here, but the airport also boasts a yoga room, art exhibits and even a spa."

"After a morning of fun, the day continues with a stop at Bal Harbour Shop and lunch at Makoto, or one of the many other renown restaurants in the area. Makoto is one of the best sushi restaurants in Miami with an extensive menu with the freshest fish available. Our favorite dish is the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, a twist on a deconstructed spicy tuna roll with crispy rice instead of traditional sushi rice."

"Bal Harbour Shops is an upscale open-air shopping mall in Bal Harbour, a wealthy suburb of Miami, Florida, known internationally for its collection…"

"Little Havana's Agustin Gainza Arts and Tavern, located at 1652 S.W. Eighth St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the art gallery and wine bar five stars out of 19 reviews."

"This classic farmers’ market is open every Saturday and offers an extensive assortment of organic fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and raw vegan options. Complete with a DIY salad bar, homemade sauces with fresh farm-grown ingredients and even street tacos, Coconut Grove Saturday Organic Market is the pinnacle of fresh food in Miami. Customers can choose from a variety of sweet treats, brewed kombucha and trail mix blends that are sure to satisfy."

"Interactive and STEM-savvy exhibits accompany the classic kid-sized supermarket, animal clinic, and firefighter and police zones at the Miami Children’s Museum. The virtual aquarium animates kids’ drawings to become part of an undersea environment, while a musical staircase—where every step plays a different tune—leads to the gigantic cruise ship on the second floor, which kids can explore.

"There is nothing like a good children’s museum, and the Miami Children’s Museum is a great example of that. Located on Watson Island in Miami, families can run around and explore this 56,000+ square foot museum for hours and never get bored. Kids can play, learn, create, and imagine in the 14 interactive (and bilingual!) exhibits."

"While not shooting from the museum itself, head under the bridge and see why this is one of my favorite spots. Sunset and night are my favorite times at this awesome spot."

"The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) has come a long way since its inception as a single gallery space in 1981. Now one of Miami’s most beloved cultural institutions, the MOCA hosts around eight to 10 special exhibits a year alongside its stellar permanent collections. Among those showcased in the MOCA permanent collection are Keith Haring, Gabriel Orozco and José Bedia, with the collection boasting a whopping 500 works of art."

"Those wanting to see contemporary art while in Miami should really go to the Institue of Contemporary Art, Miami. Here you find all kinds of artworks from well-known artists, but the museum also likes to feature up-and-coming artists. Besides the permanent collection, the museum also has many temporary exhibitions, showcasing a diverse range of contemporary art."

"The newly opened Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami offers a "Family Day” on the third Sunday of every month. Be there for interactive activities and performances for all ages. A post shared by ICA Miami (@icamiami) on Jan 22, 2018 at 11:25am PST"

"The Little River's Manatee Bend Park, where you can spot actual manatees, (six of them are in that picture!) is a small, green space to relax, a communal outdoor living room for the surrounding neighborhood."

"Drive past it on the way to North Beach and you may miss this off-the-beaten path park with three full basketball courts featuring perfect backboards to show off your Chef Curry skills. The park also has a lap pool for your starting five to cool off after a few pick-up games. If you can't find a spot in the lot for your car, there's plenty of street parking along the perimeter of the grounds."

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what organizers and board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 (George Merrick and Marjory Stoneman Douglas were members) continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, along with new ones."

"The HistoryMiami Museum is the largest museum in Florida (and thus also Miami). Here you'll learn about the history of the city through various collections and exhibitions. Items of the collection on display here are, among several other types, visual materials, archives and manuscripts, and archaeological artifacts."
