Cest pas ici que vous aller vous éclater en famille pendant toute la journée. Mais le site a son charme. On y retrouve une maison victorienne typique bien aménagée et comme le site est peu fréquenté, sasseoir sur une rocking chair dans le porche en regardant lhorizon vaut bien ce petit moment de calme. Le jardin est grand, beau et idéal pour se coucher pendant que les enfants courent. Au bout du jardin, un ouvrir reconstitue des bateaux dantan et explique volontiers ses techniques avec passion. Le bord deau est par contre très sale, toute les saletés de la baie y reviennent et cest visiblement peu nettoyé. Lentrée est gratuite donc ca vaut la peine mais ne vous attendez pas à des merveilles non plus.

The Barnacle is a historic home built in 1891. It was home to Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Groves most influential pioneers. The home offers a glimpse of life, when all travel to and from Miami was by boat. Munroe sought to preserve the forest on his land, and cut out a small trail through the hammock, barely wide enough for one vehicle. Today, the property contains many large, old trees. The home is left in its natural state, and appears much as it did in Munroes days. The Barnacle is a great place to enjoy a picnic on the lawn, a tour through the hammocks, rocking in the chairs in the front porch, or a family night at one of their shows. Watch the sailboats go by and take a picnic basket. This site is definitely for the history buffs and peace and quiet seekers. I come here with my boyfriend and roam around. It is very peaceful. We take a blanket with some food and some wine and just chill while taking photos of the historic home. Cute getaway.

Ne mérite pas un détour, mais au passage cest un jardin avec une belle perspective sur la baie, il possède de beaux arbres avec la chevelure tombante (mousse espagnole, ou le nom scientifique, tillandsia usneoides), ça fait très sud. Il nest pas obligatoire de payer, mais, à un embranchement une boîte est mise à disposition avec des enveloppes au format dollar. Un laïus vous demande aimablement dy glisser un dollar par personne. Ce que nous fîmes.

I wouldnt drive too far out of my way to visit here, dont expect too much. if you happen to be in the area its a nice little shady retreat to learn a bit about some south Miami history and boat building... The neighborhood is safe, trendy and upscale. The price to enter is a suggested $2.00 per person, (your meter on the street might cost you more).

Me gustó mucho el jardín y el embarcadero. Algo deferente para ver en Miami. A veces hacen actividades en el parque para niños y adultos. Merece la pena acercarse

The barnacle Park is part of the Miami tourist and cultural route. 19 century home of Middleton Monroe one of Coconut Grovemost influential residents. This is one of the oldest houses in Miami Dade. Stilling its original location. Peaceful, beautiful view and botanical garden.

A wonderful natural getaway in the heart of Coconut Grove. A large slipping lawn is perfect for picnics, or just lounging. Theres no beach here, but you can sit and watch boat traffic if thats your thing.

First time visiting this home in my 38 years living in Miami. Good to know the history of Mr. Ralph Munroe. Very nice grounds to take pictures and make sure that you take a tour of his home.?

An oasis of peaceful nature hidden amidst the busy pace of the Grove. I take the girl I nanny there frequently to look at the water and run around. Small, but pleasant.

Its interesting for someone who enjoys American history. It has some construction that has resisted hurricanes and it tells about the beginning of Miami foundation.

Always feels like a hidden gem since its not that crowded compared to its Coconut Grove surroundings. Lovely place to relax, look over the water, etc.

Hidden state park across from popular Coconut Grove restaurants. Walk in for a view of the original Florida. Tours of the Monroe home are available

Very interesting history, some of which is being kept alive in the boathouse out back. Theyre still building boats by hand there.

Really small, but has its own charm. Entrance based on honor system - you put money into the box, no change. Cost 3$.

Cool little park and walk down the water. No water access though, and limited space when it gets too busy.
