The Barnacle Historic State Park

Miami Beach and its surroundings are bustling with life throughout the day and well into the night. However the city’s past peeps through the cracks of its sparkling present. Accommodation in South Beach Miami can be best experienced at Metropolitan by COMO, Miami Beach. The hotel has borrowed from the style of the 1920s and 1930s when designing its spacious interiors. It is an incredible blend of the past and present. A curious mind always dwells on the past of a city and its beautiful mysteries. The Barnacle Historic State Park reveals the incredible past of Miami to its visitors.

Set amidst majestic, old trees and their soothing shade, the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe and the park in which it is constructed signifies the Era of the Bay. Imagine simpler lives led by the sea, when the only means of transport was by boat and bicycle. The park was constructed in 1891 and each detail within the premises reads like a book of its past.

Munroe was well known for pioneering coconut cultivation. His house and its interiors are polished to perfection. It is heartening also to know that as a planter, he attempted to preserve his natural surroundings by retaining the trees that were once grown in the compound. Narrow pathways twist and turn around the trees and will lead you to different areas of the park.

Leisurely walks are best suited when taking a tour of the park. You will also be able to spot replicas of two of Munroe’s sailboats which were once called Egret and Flying Proa. Enjoy the relaxed ambience of the park by picnicking on its lawns. Stretch your limbs and feel the cool breezes carry you through bygone days. You can even watch sailboats go by and attempt to comprehend the evolution of Miami.
