Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Tamiami 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."

"The creation of Don and Mera Rubell led to the formation of the enchanting private art museum, the Rubell Museum. For more than half a decade, the Rubells team has collected more than 7,200 works by 1000 and more artists. The contemporary art displayed in the 56,000 square feet galleries is a mosaic of talent, aestheticism, and a warehouse of art and culture."

"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."

"Fans of edgy art will appreciate the Rubell Family Collection. Mera and Don Rubell have accumulated work by artists from the 1970s to…"

"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."

"A post shared by CocoWalk (@cocowalkmiami) on Aug 31, 2018 at 2:03pm PDT. In the heart of the Coconut Grove community is CocoWalk. Coconut Grove is one of the oldest communities in Miami and it has always tried to maintain its old school Miami aesthetic."

"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."

"Between 16th and 17th Street in South Beach lies Lincoln Road, a "shopping street" of sorts, lined with stores, restaurants, art galleries and cafes. From national chains to eclectic one-of-a-kind shops, there is something around every street corner of this pedestrian mall. When the hunt for a good buy has taken its toll, shoppers take a break and people watch at one of the many restaurants with outdoor seating on Lincoln Road."

"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."

"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."

"Inspired by the four ‘T’ cities — Tel Aviv, Thong Sala, Tokyo, and Tulum — the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall is full of photo opportunities. With many hidden spots boasting beautiful Instagram backgrounds, you’ll have to explore the entire premises to discover them all. We won’t keep you guessing too much, though — here are some of our favorites:"

"Little River’s sprawling multiuse complex launched a bottomless, Mediterranean vegetarian brunch last fall that’s just $54 and includes live jazz and all the mezze and mimosas you can handle in a four-hour time span. Zatounya Foods, a local catering company run by female Syrian refugees, prepares the plethora of small plant-based bites available, while the Cubazz quartet serenades you with live jazz. Brunch takes place in Ironside’s back garden...just follow the tunes to your afternoon oasis."

"Miami’s hottest spot for amazing seafood and beautiful waterfront dining is located on the banks of the Miami River. Just minutes from Downtown Miami and the Brickell Financial District, Seaspice Brasserie and Lounge, has brought a vision unlike any other to the Miami River, transforming a post-industrial warehouse outfitted in unexpected, sophisticated nautical touches into a world renowned fine dining destination. Coral Gables Love reader, Suzy, recommends you try the risotto."

"As far as we’re concerned, it doesn’t get much better than dining on a lobster Benedict while lounging on Seaspice’s gorgeous patio on the Miami River. Did we mention the bottomless rosé?. You’ll have a prime viewing spot of mega yachts cruising along the downtown waterfront as your glass is continuously refilled."

"From its on the water vibes, and amazing happy hour prices, to the dank gourmet pizzas, Seaspice won’t disappoint. Get your boyfriend, girlfriend, dog, cat, mom, dad, or your homeless friend on the streets, sit down and relax while you grub your little heart out."
