Bayside Marketplace

401 Biscayne Blvd · Miami, FL

Why you should go…

Bayside Marketplace is an open-air shopping and dining complex of two pavilions on Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami, with the city marina on one side. You browse fashion boutiques and specialty shops, eat at waterfront restaurants and hear live entertainment by the bay. Speedboat tours leave from the waterfront, and the 200-foot Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel turns beside the mall. The marketplace opened in 1987.

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
