Stroller friendly Restrooms

Thu–Mon 9am–5pm; closed Tue, Wed, Christmas, New Year's. No car entry — park on the street and walk in.

Tiny bayfront state park tucked off Coconut Grove's Main Highway — a short path to the water, a historic house, and almost no one. Pedestrian entry only.

Why kids love it

Five and under are free, the walk is short, and you can be done in under an hour. Perfect Grove add-on, not a full-day plan.
