About

Coconut Grove predates the incorporation of Miami itself: its first post office opened in 1873, and The Barnacle, the house Ralph Munroe built on the bay in 1891, still stands on Main Highway as the oldest house in Miami-Dade County on its original site. Peacock Park and Kennedy Park front the water, several sailing and yacht clubs operate out of Grove marinas, and the CocoWalk retail center anchors the commercial district a few blocks inland. Older wood-frame cottages sit alongside newer construction throughout the neighborhood.
