 Historic Miami home |
3485 Main Highway Miami, FL 33133 United States +1 305 442 6866 http://www.floridastateparks.org |
Unlike many of South Florida's state parks, Barnacle is centrally located and easily accessible by automobile. Just off a main street in trendy Coconut Grove, this five-acre historic site offers visitors a glimpse into a past full of beauty and luxury. This stately structure was originally the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, a landowner and yacht enthusiast who hailed from New York. Before and after Munroe's passing, pains were taken to assure that the property reflected south Florida's culture and blossoming heritage. Guests can tour Munroe's home or explore the lush land outside. Celebrate the 4th of July here, as annual festivities are held. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Oldest lighthouse in the area |
1200 South Crandon Boulevard Key Biscayne Miami, FL 33149 United States +1 305 361 5811 http://www.key-biscayne.com/ca... |
Built in 1825, this 95-foot lighthouse is the oldest building in south Florida. It originally guided sailors through the dangerous waters along the Straits of Florida. Although it was removed from service many times during various wars, it has weathered the years extraordinarily well. The US Coast Guard has used it as a navigational device for the past 25 years. The lighthouse is part of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Guests can take guided tours, explore by themselves, or relax in the open-air Lighthouse Café. Review © 2007, Wcities |
