"Unlike the Medditerian Revival mansions at Coral Gables or the Art Deco buildings of the South beach, The Coral Castle Museum is a singular structure. It is said that the 1,100-ton coral rock castle was built single-handedly by a man who lost his love. The structure alludes to mysteries like that of Stonehenge."
"‘You will be seeing unusual accomplishment,’ reads the inscription on the rough-hewn quarried wall. That’s an understatement. There is no greater temple to all that is weird and wacky about South Florida."
"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."
"The Barnacle Historic State Park is home to the oldest house in Miami|© William Silver / Shutterstock. Also in Coconut Grove, this fairly small park tops our list for having the oldest house in its original location in Miami. Visitors can tour the 1891 home, The Barnacle, to learn about the frontier life during the “Era of the Bay” at a time when all travel to the city was done by boat."
"At this 5-acre gem in Coconut Grove is the oldest home in its original location in Miami-Dade County (1891), which once housed Ralph Middleton Munroe, an American yacht designer. You'll also see plenty of mesmerizing Spanish moss. A post shared by @lizz_ax3 on Feb 26, 2017 at 2:42pm PST"

"Saint Francis de sales Catholic Church is a small white church located 3 miles away from Miami beach towards its North End. Built in 1940, Saint Francis de sales Catholic Church is made with mission chapel and serves the Parish community in the region. Structured beautifully with Parish architecture, the church welcomes every visitor for a spiritual tour."
"Take I-95 south and grab the Rickenbacker Causeway until you hit Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. This beautiful state park is right at the end of Key Biscayne and gives you uninterrupted views of the ocean—a perfect sunset watching spot. The state park has a lighthouse, where guests can climb to the top and look out into the ocean and the beach below. Next to it is a cement lookout spot that serves as a bench to watch the sunset and enjoy your Zak the Baker treats (if you didn't eat them already on the car ride down)."
"Hop aboard for a fun 90-minute sightseeing cruise that takes you past waterfront mansions, Port Miami, Fisher Island and other highlights. See captivating views of the Miami skyline while enjoying beverages and light snacks."

"Call it like it is—this was one of the first donut shops to break the mold of the typical glazed donuts in South Florida. Mojo Donuts opened in Pembroke Pines in 2013, just as the donut trend was sweeping the nation, and their large-and-in-charge gourmet donuts stuffed with anything you can think of quickly grabbed attention. (People would often drive from as far away as the Florida Keys to get their hands on the donuts.) With two locations in Miami’s Westchester area and Pembroke Pines, along with a food truck at The Wharf, Mojo offers yeast and cake doughnuts in a dizzying array of choices, which means you’ll want a box to sample them all."
"One of the OG Miami donut shops, Mojo Donuts’ first shop was in Pembroke Pines, but made its way to Miami a few years ago — and added fried chicken to the menu. At this doughnut shop, guests can expect a larger than life menu of doughnuts each day with fun rotating flavors like the Esmeralda doughnut, which is a raspberry glazed donut covered in Nutella and dunked in crushed Oreos with strawberry mousse and a strawberry drizzle.
