    I don't know that I would call this a Must-See. We had to see it if we used this marina.

    The website says it is Miami's number one tourist attraction which is a bit of overhype IMHO as I think there are other places in Miami that attract the tourists more than this place.

    It is adjacent to the port of Miami and is connected to American Airlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat. It is accessible by the monorail - there is a stop nearby. There is a parking garage and valet parking down by the Hard Rock.

    Bayside is a larger open-air marketplace located right on the water behind the American Airlines arena. It serves as the central point for tourist-oriented entertainment and restaurants. Having said that, it is worth visiting in the late afternoons and evenings. Bayside has a good size outdoor stage and there is nightly live entertainment that can be enjoyed for free. Even better, there are several outdoor daiquiri bars around the stage which allow you to get a freshly made daiquiri and sip it while in enjoying the live music.

    For those interested in shopping, Bayside has the usual set of American retail stores (Gap, Bodyshop, etc..) and thus is nothing special.

    There are plenty of restaurants in Bayside, but again, if you are looking for authentic and local cuisine, then Bayside is not the place to go. Bayside has more commercial establishments and large chain restaurants. However, for travellers on a budget, Bayside can be an attractive option as it houses a large food court offering cheap, cafeteria-style food. Try the Argentinian BBQ - you will not be disappointed!

    Overall, Bayside is the place to go if you are looking for the sure bet. It has the same type of clubs that you would find in other major US city centres (i.e. Hard Rock Cafe) and is designed almost specifically for tourists.

    Bayside Marketplace is a good orientation spot from where you can undertake different things. The main activities are:
    1. Shopping (of course)
    2. Eating (see our restaurant tip)
    3. Dancing: in the afternoon a band starts to play some Miami beat and calypso songs and passers-by start to dance spontaneously, while even more passers-by sit down and watch... (see picture)
    4. Starting point for a bay cruise

    There are a number of cruise tours along the bay. Take a 1 hr tour and the cruise will take u to have a look at the celebrities' expensive homes. If u have luck, u can see dolphins also.

    Make sure to take a cruise during sunset, wonderful!

    Winter time, take the cruise at 5pm!

    Summer time, take at 7pm!

    After the tour, have dinner in one of the seaside restuarants there and enjoy the sea breeze!

    Shop around after food is good for health! Perfect!

    The Bayside Marketplace is a big shopping- and entertainment centre in Miami. There are more than 115 shops and restaurants at the Bayside, and I visited the centre a couple of times for dinner and to hear some music. Every day there was live entertainment on the central stage – for free – and it was actually really great bands.

    I know it is a tourists place and the restaurants are not very exotic (for example Hooters and Hard Rock), but still I liked this place more than the fancy bars and restaurants at South Beach. At least they were much cheaper and the atmosphere was much more relaxed…

    Bayside Market Place is more or less a mall with food courts... I say more or less because it's also a place to stroll about and the departure point of several boat tours that take you out to see how the rich and famous live.

    Basically, it does not look like a mall. It is an ourdoor Mall with restaurants and free daily live entertainment... so that you don't feel the pressure to just buy. You can even go there and enjoy the warm sun.

    Shops open 7 days a week at 10 am and close between 9 pm and 11 pm, depending on the day of the week.

  • Bayside is popular for its ambiance, located right on the water. Even the locals go there. We don't go there to buy a lot but it's just fun to be there. On US 1 (Biscayne Blvd.) just north of downtown (Flagler Street) Miami. They have several restaurants; Hooters, Los Ranchos and a Hard Rock Cafe to name just a couple. There is also a food court on the second level and they have entertainment at various times, particularly evenings and weekends. There are cruise boats that will take you on water tours around Miami for a few hours. The marina has been recently remodeled and there are also fishing charter boats there. Parking is available in a large covered garage. Much of Bayside is under cover but you could get a little damp if it rains.

    As the first Miami tourist attraction, Bayside is a open-air market right by the marina and is worth going to. It's quite a big area where you have all the usual clothes stores, lots of restaurants, bars, a food court and a stage with free concerts.

    Also from the marina, you can take a short cruise that will take you around Star Island where the rich and famous have their "little" second residence.

    Bay Side Market place is a good shopping Area in Miami. Lot of restaurants, a huge food court and a good collection of shops. Since its on the Bayside, there are lot of ferries leaving from here every hour to take you through a tour of all the Islands at Miami and show you the lifestyles of the rich and the famous there. The Hard Rock cafe of Miami is also located here.

    This nice Mall is located at the sea shore, at Bay Byscaine. It's a charming place to relax and have a daikiri as you see the boats go by.
