Bayside Marketplace is a fun, two-story outdoor shopping center in Downtown Miami, Florida. It sits right on the beautiful Biscayne Bay, next to the Miami marina. Many people visit Bayside Marketplace, making it one of Miami's most popular spots!
Unlike a regular mall, Bayside is a whole entertainment experience. You can enjoy live music every day, find lots of restaurants, and even attend special family events. Its waterfront location offers amazing views, making it a perfect place to hang out. There are over 140 shops and more than 50 carts and kiosks to explore.
Discovering Bayside's Story
This exciting entertainment spot first opened its doors on April 8, 1987. It was a time when many new buildings were being built in Miami. Bayside Marketplace was designed to fit perfectly with the existing marina, adding to the city's lively waterfront.
You might have even seen Bayside Marketplace on TV! It was often shown in the popular crime drama series, Miami Vice.
Getting to Bayside
Bayside Marketplace is a big hit with tourists all year round. It's super easy to get there using public transportation. You can take the Metrorail to the Government Center station. Even better, the Metromover has a station called College/Bayside that drops you off right at the marketplace!
