Coconut Grove: A Bohemian Paradise

June 13, 2024

Welcome to Coconut Grove – also known as “The Grove”, known for its lush landscapes, bohemian atmosphere, and diverse community. This trending community offers visitors and residents alike a unique blend of history, art, and natural beauty. Let us delve into the charm of Coconut Grove and highlight some upcoming events that showcase its dynamic spirit.

A Brief History

As one of the oldest inhabited areas in Florida, Coconut Grove boasts a storied past dating back to the 18th century when Bahamian immigrants and pioneers settled this remote area. A few years later, a cultural renaissance took place and the Grove evolved into a haven for artists, intellectuals, and free spirits seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. Today, we honor remnants of its past in historic sites like Barnacle Historic State Park, preserving a beautifully restored home surrounded by lush gardens overlooking Biscayne Bay.
