Where to explore Coconut Grove’s eclectic mix of boutiques
Much of the shopping in Coconut Grove revolves around its central business district, near the intersection of Grand Avenue and Main Highway. Within this busy pedestrian-friendly hub, unique boutiques offer everything from fine jewelry and antique books to avant-garde fashions, swimwear and gravity skateboards.
In addition to its retail streetscape, The Grove is home to CocoWalk, a shopping and entertainment complex. When the sun sets, CocoWalk lights up the night with a variety of restaurants and bars. Another unique collection of shops and entertainment venues waits next door, at Mayfair in the Grove, where visitors enjoy bistro and restaurant dining.
