Bayside Marketplace is a waterfront shopping and dining area near downtown, Miami Florida.  It is a mixture of ritzy shopping, local dining, and waterfront bars and nightlife.  Bayside offers fun for all.  Come and enjoy the daily live entertainment offered in the outdoor pavilion area at Bayside.  Or just come out and enjoy the bustling atmosphere and the colorful neon lights.

This waterfront shopping mall is a magnet for Latin American shoppers, tourists and cruise-ship goers. It's modeled after a village marketplace with lots of kiosks, open-air walkways and vendors offering everything from sarongs to jewelry to fresh foods.

Harbor at Miami BaysideBayside Marketplace  is easy to get to, located right on Miami's waterfront off of Biscayne Blvd with the American Airlines Arena on one side and Bay Front Park on the other side (view map).  Parking is convenient with a parking garage adjacent.

Bayside, Miami FloridaOnce you meander through the entry promenade and initial stores, you make your way out to the waterfront.  Here, you must pause to enjoy the scene.  Often there are live concerts right here on the water - as there was the night we visited.  There were large crowds of merry people watching, eating, dancing, and shopping in this carnival-like atmosphere.  Large tour boats and smaller pleasure craft pulled up to the pier here as the sun set behind us.

We stopped for dinner at the Latin American Cafe.  This restaurant serves traditional Cuban favorites including Media Noche and Cuban sandwiches as well as Picadillo, Vaca Frita, and Arroz con Pollo.  We sat outside, facing the water and enjoyed a wonderful Cuban meal.  We highly recommend the large sampler appetizer platter - a delicious delight!  There was also a Mambo Cafe located here -- a chain of the same restaurant we ate at in Coconut Grove.  At the outer edge of Bayside, located right on the water's edge, is the Hard Rock Cafe Miami with spectacular views of the waterfront and small boat harbor.

Miami Bayside Shopping MallDon't think of Bayside as merely a shopping mall - you'll be pleasantly surprised by the carnival-like atmosphere on the very scenic waterfront.  Whether you are interested in our vibrant marketplace, exotic restaurants, daily live entertainment or national brand name stores.  Miami Bayside's wealth of activity offers something for everyone.  Check out hotel discounts in Miami.  Visiting Florida?  Consider planning your next Family Vacation to Tampa.
