Shopping in Miami
is positively addicting. High-end retailers and designer fashions are common at
the upscale Bal Harbour Shops, located on the northern end of Miami
Beach, and the Village of Merrick Park, a Coral Gables shopping center with exquisite
landscaping. Downtown Coral Gables
is known for the designer boutiques and specialty stores stretching along
Miracle Mile, a popular shopping destination for brides-to-be. The world-famous
South Beach is home to the Collins Avenue fashion districts as well
as the boutiques of Lincoln Road,
a pedestrian mall that also hosts a seasonal antiques and collectibles market.
Another well-known name in the Miami
shopping arena, Coconut Grove, features many boutiques and an organic farmer’s
market.
