Learn More About Bayside Market Place

The Bayside Marketplace, located between Bayfront Park, Miamarina, and the PortMiami cruise ship port, is a popular destination for travelers looking to buy, dine, and people-watch. Bayside Marketplace guests can enjoy the true Miami - exquisite international food, fine shopping, and exotic music in a gorgeous waterfront environment.

It's a one-stop shop for all kinds of Miami souvenirs, and there's something for everyone with more than 150 stores and cafes. Gap, Victoria's Secret, Five Guys, Starbucks, and Bubba Gump Shrimp Company are among the popular stores and eateries. It's popular with travelers waiting to board their cruise ship or people returning from vacation, as well as visitors who like to watch the boats drive into and out of the marina. Every afternoon and evening, the marketplace includes live music from local musicians and is home to tour boat companies such as the Thriller Miami speedboat experiences.

While it's free to walk around and people-watch, you'll have to pay for parking on-site if you can't find metered parking on nearby Biscayne Boulevard. Recent visitors have also warned that it can get crowded during peak season.

Although it is a fantastic location to go for some shopping therapy, Bayside Marketplace is also a great place to stroll about and have something to eat at one of its restaurants, or to enjoy the nightly performances. There are also fireworks and laser shows on some days!

Because of its excellent position in the city center and directly close to the sea, it serves as both a tourist attraction and a shopping mall.
