Why Start at Bayside?
Bayside Marketplace sits on Miami's downtown waterfront and is a natural starting point for visitors who want to combine the city with Biscayne Bay. The area works especially well for travelers who want sightseeing without building an entire day around transportation between activities.
This site is designed as a focused attraction guide rather than a giant directory. Each category page explains the experience, who it is best for and what to look for before booking.
Start with the water
For many visitors, a boat experience is the defining Bayside activity. Compare the different styles before choosing.
