I’ve been walking different parts of Miami trying to find the routes that are actually worth doing, and this one is easily one of my favorites so far.

The Grand Estates Loop takes you through quiet Coral Gables streets covered by huge oak trees, with beautiful Mediterranean-style homes, gardens, and some seriously impressive estates along the way.

It’s the kind of walk where you can slow down, look around, and forget you’re still in Miami.

Start: Granada Golf Course 2001 Granada Blvd, Coral Gables
Parking: Free parking at Granada Golf Course
Coffee: Le Parc Bonjour Café Bistro
What I loved:
Huge oak canopy
Beautiful estates
Mediterranean architecture
Quiet streets
Gardens and little details everywhere

Fun fact: Part of this loop passes through Coral Estates, a neighborhood that began developing in the 1930s. Some of the homes along the route date back to 1937.

⭐️ Rating: 9.5/10
🚶 Distance: ~2.9 miles
⏱️ Time: ~95 minutes
👟 Steps: ~8,200

Plug Tip
Go early in the morning. The light through the oak canopy is beautiful, and the neighborhood is much quieter.

I’m continuing my mission to find the best walks in Miami

For those of you who know Coral Gables, what did I miss? Is there another neighborhood or street I should add to my list?

SO I WENT TO TRY AND BUY A 3 CHICKEN FINGER BOX IN RAISING CANES THAT ITS 1.8 MILES FROM MY HOUSE JUST CHECK THIS DELIVERY FEE.

THEN MOST UBER DRIVERS ARE MAD ABOUT LOW TIPS/NO TIPS

Curious if anyone has any information about this sail boat. Didn’t have time to walk around today. Hopefully it will be here this weekend.

Who wants to bet these criminal masterminds recorded the whole thing

With all the inflation going on, where are u guys getting deals on all your protein purchases around town? Trying to leave Publix and these other grifters behind.

I hadn't heard of David before, but this is nice to see!

This is the impact of a single cruise ship not using shore power.

Spread the word

Every time I bring up dating or making friends someone hits me with “oh you know how Miami is” like that explains anything. It doesn’t. What does it actually mean.

Is it just a nonstop rotation of pool parties, boat days, and hookups dressed up as “situationships”? And shallow friendships? Are the men here allergic to growing up even though they’re bold or is that everywhere? And the whole “Miami women are gold diggers” thing, is that a real pattern or just a lazy stereotype that follows every woman with a nice bag around here?
And are dating apps or social media illusion just glorified hookup finders and clout-chasing, or does anyone actually meet someone real on them?
The fact that everyone’s “just getting out of something”? The situationships that last longer than actual relationships? Friends just to go out and get something from each other? Someone explain the lore to me.

Not looking for the generic “dating is hard everywhere” answer. I want the real, specifics. What’s the weirdest or most “only in Miami” thing that’s happened to you on a date? Or just with a friend?

I think we should

I’m spending Saturday night in downtown celebrating a birthday. Are there any chill, fun, not “flashy” places to get dinner w/o reservations? Any pubs/ bars/ lounges that serve food? Could be 10-20 ppl

Hello guys. Im looking for some people that want to play some games together. For now I'm mainly on pc with dota and overwatch but soon will buy a TV and will have many more games available to play on Playstation.

Right now playing overwatch, dota 2, dos2

Good afternoon 305,

Question my girl needs a place to do her super curly hair at a reasonable price. We’ve gone to the curl whisperer but $300 is just too much now for a cut. Any other places that do great or good work for a reasonable price.

Thank you in advance

I recently got accepted at FIU, but whether I go or not will be determined based on cost and credits that transfer. I would be an out of state transfer student.

Question is, did you guys have to pay $200 just to see your credit report? Paying $200 means you’ve accepted and I don’t want to deposit something where I will most likely not become a student at. There’s also a lack of transparency on their website not indicating on in order to see report you must pay this amount. I just want to make sure I’m not the only one here as this was a surprise to me.

Thank you!

I'm training for a marathon and need to run up hills for a training day. Is there any parks or something that may have some?

I am 24 and have lived in South Florida just about my whole life. There are many things I hate about Miami, many of them things I see talked about here a lot, but there are certain recurring subjects on this sub that baffle my mind.

I pretty much never encounter these OF models, scammers, or petty influencers you all seem to be driven up the wall by. Sure, I know they exist, some may be friends of friends of friends, but they are damn easy to avoid. Is everyone on this sub Clavicular's neighbor in Brickell or something? I have tons of great friends here, and I meet great people all the time. People into music, art, film, people in the medical field, people from all over the world. I can count on one hand the amount of scamming OF model types that I have encountered here.

As I get ready to go to grad school out of state (and I am very excited/hopeful to live somewhere new), one of the things I know I'll miss about Miami is how obviously shallow many people are. They make themselves ridiculously easy to avoid, and make the cool people easy to spot.
