Destination Overview Vacation Resorts - Coconut Grove FL

    A truly unique destination, Coconut Grove is a quaint, artistic village with red brick sidewalks, chic boutiques, colorful art galleries, sidewalk cafes and other interesting attractions. Visitors can enjoy some 4.5 miles of waterfront and an average 78 degree temperature.
