Bayside is back! Been many years since my last visit and boy did Bayside step it up! It's lively, it's upbeat! It's more entertaining! Great amount of vendors to pick from and enjoy as you walk the strip and along the waterfront. Many bars and restaurants and boutique shops to explore. Love the souvenir shops around that has very reasonably price products. They have all cuisines to satisfy any cravings from Mexican to Latin to sushi to Mediterranean along with many dessert options to satisfy that sweet tooth after dinner. Bayside seems to now be able to compete successfully with nearby areas within Miami for the nightlife scene with all the buzz it's making. The big bright ferris wheel continues to attract the foot traffic and the restaurant and bars and shops seal the deal. Parking is plentiful with a garage right near by and public parking on Biscayne Blvd is also an alternative with an easy walk. Bayside is clean and organized with security and ambassadors around to aide with any questions. You gotta give Bayside another visit and see everything it has to offer.
Originally came here as a drop off point to the nearby Bayfront Park, this two-story outdoor market/mall (situated on Biscayne Bay, right next to the CIty of Miami marina) ended up being a nice place to hang out while waiting for our cruise port time. My brother and I had arrived into Miami really early in the morning, so decided to go to downtown Miami until the early afternoon (our prescribed time for check-in). Going to a public park is a common choice for me when wanting to kill some time, especially if it is near a body of water. After our $40 Lyft ride from the airport (took more than 30 minutes during Monday morning traffic), we found a nice outdoor table (not associated with any restaurant) that we could park our luggage and sit. Many other cruisers must have had the same thought, since all the tables were taken soon after us. The mall opened in 1987, with over 200,000 square feet of retail space. It underwent a renovation in 2016. On the side facing the bay, there are many restaurants with al fresco dining, taking advantage of the outdoor views. Most of the stores seemed local, with some national brands like Foot Locker and Sunglass Hut thrown in. One thing to notice was that some infrastructure at the mall was out of order, including elevators and escalators.
A great place to walk around the pier and marketplace for dining and bars, I will not go there for souvenirs shopping, seemed like a tourist trap to me. There are many restaurants and a Ferris wheel that are in repair now. Parking will be an issue if there's event nearby.
I enjoy visiting Bayside to stroll around, have a cocktail, and people-watch. There are many small vendors to explore, along with a variety of great restaurants. The atmosphere has a strong Latin influence, with plenty of Spanish-language music and performances throughout the area, which adds to its lively character. At times, some staff members or market vendors can come across as a bit dismissive. In the evenings, the area tends to draw a younger crowd, and the energy can feel a bit chaotic. Overall, Bayside offers a vibrant and entertaining experience, especially for those who enjoy lively waterfront environments.
Bayside Marketplace is a fun place to stop and shop when you're in Miami. With over two dozen shops here, including dozens of dining options, you'll definitely find yourself spending some money here. In addition to the retail shops and restaurants, this is also the launch point for a lot of charters if you're looking for a trip on the water. There's also a giant Ferris wheel you can get on that offers a great view of the bay when up top.
We enjoyed Bayside Marketplace. Lots of shops an eateries. We found the souvenir shops to be reasonably priced. It was a rainy day but we enjoyed nevertheless.
With Bayside in Downtown Miami, you really can't say that there is nothing to do. It first opened around 1987, and with its open air layout and vibe it was perfect for a kid in Junior High to hang out (after being dropped off by the parentals :) Like most of Miami, it has become more luxe over the years. The live stage right next to the bay? It has a turf area with seating and jenga. The parking? Of course more expensive. The old food court on the second floor (and Hooters)? Replaced. The old "Let's Make a Daiquiri" bar? Now it's a more upscale cocktail bar with a full liquor selection, included blended mojitos and the pinot grigio my ladyfriend enjoys. We most recently stopped by this past Sunday, since the overcast day it wasn't clear that a beach day would be possible. We played tourist in the various shops, new restaurants and of course the boat tour. Our choice was the celebrity tour boat that went along celebrity homes where we checked out the various luxe homes - including some I've designed - and which celebrities inhabit them including that of an erstwhile (baby)oil baron #iykyk The only bummer about the boat is that the onboard bar doesn't serve her favorite wine. However, we could bring out frozen drinks on. The Skyview Ferris Wheel is one of the better ways to spend $25 per person. The view alone, especially when each cabin stops at the top, is one of the reason why "I needs me my Dade County". Plus it's a nice view to sneak a moment with someone :) Besides the main bar, there's a new space called LolaBar that also blends good mojitos. Foodwise, we ordered the chicken quesadilla & 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' from the Margaritaville space. While it wasn't 'white glove' service it still tasted pretty good and the right kind of food for playing tourist.
Love bayside marketplace ! So much to do and see. It's right near the water and close to the cruise port driving. I came here to eat at Nicky jams restaurant before getting in a cruise on my birthday and loved it so much! It's like a mall in there. The food options are also great, can't wait to come back to Miami and explore this area more
If you're at Bayside Marketplace, definitely do the Miami Skyline Boat Cruise to see the Millionaire's Homes, it's such a vibe. Just don't go with the first person selling tickets since there are plenty of options to choose from. The views are beautiful cruising through Biscayne Bay past Hibiscus Island, Star Island, and even Al Capone's old mansion. You can grab a drink on board and just relax and enjoy the ride. There are also a bunch of restaurants, shops, and little spots to grab souvenirs like keychains, T-shirts, and bags, which is perfect if you're visiting. Just keep in mind parking can get pricey, starting around $7 an hour. Street parking is cheaper (about $5), but it can be a bit confusing.
I love walking down to Bayside whether it be just to get some exercise and catch some views, to grab a bite to eat, or some light shopping at one of my favs like Bath and Body or Steps Boutique. I love the water views, especially dining waterside. Pier 5 for cocktails and ambiance is also one of my go-to's. So many options here to explore. I highly recommend stopping by if you are visiting Miami.
What a beautiful place! So many shops and restaurants! Just be careful of some individuals trying to pick pocket or steal your information. I caught one guy trying to come up behind my husband to do it after I seen him following him everywhere. Other than that highly recommended!
I'm an out of town we visiting and I thought Bayside Marketplace was great. I don't know if there is free public parking but I ended up paying $20 for all day in a lot at the south end of the venue. Lots of places to eat, both sit down and grab and go. Affordable types of shops. A very nice bar area in the center of the venue. Lots of kiosks, and for us visitors, a ton of souvenir shops. It's also just a block away from the arena the Miami Heat play in and their team store. Take a look at the Dwayne Wade statue. It's a little of a funky pose and likeness, but hey, it's still D Wade. Beware the bait and switch. Smoothie kiosk giving free samples and then you order "I'll have what I sampled" and it comes in a full votes out pineapple and costs your life savings. Pro tip, get the non pineapple husk one for less than half the price. Another beware is one of the ice cream places on the first floor. $13 for a small? Glad I checked that first. There's a big Ferris wheel at the south end too. Lots of booths selling various tours. And a very expensive snack stand. You could spend a few hours here no problem. Just take your time.
One my favorite places to spend tine when in Miami. So many cute food spots to try. Easy to access via ride share as well. Its always bustling with people and is a great place for photo ops.

I used to come to Bayside all the time as a child as it was the one place that my parents brought all their friends and family when they would be in town. I remember it always being lively with all different kind of shores and with music. When I recently went, during the daytime, it was not as lively but full of tourist. Some of the stores from back in the days were still there with some new stores. There was even a part that looked like a small carnival. The carnival part is new and a nice addition to this memorable place. This is definitely a place to come and hang out, especially if your a tourist or want to have a touristy day in your city. read more
It's been many years since I've been prior to this past weekend. There are plenty of eateries and shops to explore while people watching and walking around. The parking garages charges a fee depending on the amount of hours. Wait, you got to pay to park while spending money at the marketplace? That makes sense. The places my daughter and I went to were Crocs, Margaritaville, and It's Sugar. We saw the Sky View Wheel while we were eating dinner and it looked pretty cool. There was a lot of people when we went on a Saturday night in the main areas of the marketplace. However, I still can't get over that it cost something to park in the Bayside garages since they figure all the other parking garages charges a fee as well. read more
Been about five years last time I was here. Bayside Market has stepped it up a notch. Big market where you can shop, eat and enjoy music all in the same vacinity. This is the place perfect for people watching. There is a lot of movement all around. Enjoy a stroll through the open air kiosks where you can find good deals on clothing and souveniers. If you are not afraid of heights, you can take a ride on the magnificent Ferris Wheel and enjoy sky views of Miami Biscayne Bay. There are also Boat rides. This is definitely a tourist magnet area. I enjoyed coming back but might be another couple years before I go back as I prefer a less tourist area. read more

I always get feelings of nostalgia when I visit the city of Miami. It is my hometown and where I was born and raised. Came here today to Bayside, one of my old shopping and past time spots to spend some quality time with my girls, lots of fun, food, entertainment, and people watching. Loved it like I always have. read more
The Bayside Marketplace in Miami is a great place to pick up a few gifts or relax for an afternoon. I hung out here one afternoon for about 4 to 5 hours. It was very interesting. There was a lot of shopping. They have all the top stores it's located adjacent to a marina. All the employees at all the venues seemed really happy to work here in this area. I was impressed. They have custodians going up and down the main outside areas cleaning sweeping disinfecting definitely a clean place to hang out. there's a few restaurants and bars all hopping. Most of the tour buses that are hop on hop off stop here. that's actually how I came to this place I was on the big bus tour and this was one of the stops. it also is adjacent to downtown Miami if you have some business so very convenient for the locals as well. Definitely a place to stop when you're in Miami and you have a few hours and want to enjoy the afternoon. read more

This place in my opinion truly has the heart of Miami. This location offers not only such a central place next to great museums and the Arena where the Heat play but amazing parking options and stores. Let's get into the exotic birds, the food, the options and sooooo much more. You have a marina so basically you get to board boats and go on some great adventures. Pro Tip: go on Groupon and get great deals in all the fun stuff to do here. read more
In our summertour, we went to the bayside. What an awesome place to be if you like music, colors, shopping and great food! Everybody is doing a great job in creating the amazing environment and it felt like being on a party the minute we entered till we went back to our car. We got some amazing fresh tropical juice and ice cream from skoops, since we already was full after a round on a virtual kitchen. What one should perhaps not expect is that the price is cheap. But it is def worthwhile to do the tour to get the atmosphere and the experience when in Miami. A lot of parking both right outside and in a garage nearby. read more
Definitely a touristy spot. But, it was fun to walk around and did a bit of shopping for things we forgot to pack. Also, rode the Ferris wheel which was $24 a person. Def worth doing at least once. Live music and various places to eat/ drink if desired. read more

VISITING MIAMI? ADD IT TO YOUR LIST!! Bayside Marketplace is one of those places you have to check out at least once. As a local, I don't come here often, but when I do, it's usually in the early morning for a quiet walk. That said, if you've never been, it's worth experiencing. Yes, it's a tourist hotspot, but there's plenty to do. You can hop on a boat tour--whether you're up for a high-speed thrill ride or a laid-back cruise around Biscayne Bay. The Skyviews Observation Wheel gives you some pretty awesome views of the city, and there are plenty of bars where you can grab a drink and just soak in the atmosphere. If you're into shopping, you'll find lots of souvenir spots, and if you get hungry, there are tons of food options. Just be mindful--this place is built for tourists, so plan accordingly. What makes Bayside even better is its location. It's right next to Bayfront Park, where you can check out the newly reopened Mildred and Claude Pepper Fountain. Plus, you're close to the Kaseya Center, the Pérez Art Museum, and even the Dogs and Cats sculpture park. It's a great spot to mix into a downtown Miami day trip! read more

Bayside Marketplace in Miami is the #1 place for tourists to visit. It is located downtown in the Marina on Biscayne Blvd. It has something for every age group. There are plenty of parking lots and garages in the area. Wear comfortable shoes. There are many stores to shop at: Bed & Bath Works, Victoria's Secret, Footlocker, Kids Footlocker, 3D Laser land, Champs Sports, Bus Tours, Boat rentals, Jetski Rentals, Claire's, Crocs, Express, GameStop among many others. There are several good restaurants located there also. You will find the Hard Rock Cafe, Margaritaville, Fat Tuesday, Chili's, Bubba Gump, Five Guys, Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls, Mojito Bar, Las Canita, KUBA, and more. And don't forget the spectacular Skyview Miami Ferris Wheel with amazing city and water views. The Thriller boat ride is for the adventurous! Trust me, it's Wild! I've been on it a couple of times. You get to ride past celebrities' multi-million dollar homes on Star Island. Expect to spend at least 1/2 a day at Bayside or longer. It's a lot of fun! read more

I LOVE this place! We stumbled on it because we had to come here for our boat ride tour. There is an attached pay parking deck, so parking was not an issue If you're wanting ideas for date night, girls or guys trip, this is the spot to hang out. Tons of food, bakeries, ice cream, shopping, boat tours, lake side seating, hooka, bars, live music, an enclosed ferris wheel. A huge Hard Rock cafe restaurant is also located here if that's your thing. I 100% recommend this place if you are visiting Miami. read more
