About The Barnacle:
Preserving Miami's Best Backyard
The Barnacle, built in 1891, offers a glimpse of Old Florida during The Era of the Bay. Situated on the shore of Biscayne Bay, this was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Grove´s most charming and influential pioneers. A walk into the park through its tropical hardwood hammock invites each guest to imagine Miami’s original landscape in the 1920s.
Throughout the year, The Barnacle Society sponsors many events to raise funds and awareness to support this lovely Historic State Park. From moonlight concerts and films, to sunset soirees and Shakespeare, our very own Haunted Ballet and Mad Hatter Art Show and Yappy Hours for our furry friends, there is something for everyone! Come sit with us in a rocking chair on the spacious front porch and enjoy the bay breeze as it rolls off the water in your backyard.
