The Barnacle Historic State Park
Just off Main Highway in downtown Coconut Grove awaits a jewel from a quieter time. The Barnacle, the 19th century home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Grove’s most influential and charming residents, is one of the oldest houses in Miami-Dade County.
Stroll down the drive of this historic Coconut Grove property and take a step back in time—when the pace of life was slower and you could actually walk down to the edge of beautiful Biscayne Bay!
The Park is open from 9-5 six days a week (closed Tuesdays). Park admission is $2 (children 5 and under free). Tours of the hand-crafted historic house available for an additional $3.
Come sit on the veranda and enjoy the refreshing bay breezes while the children frolic on our acre-plus lawn. Bring a blanket and a picnic. You will want to come back!
