A beautiful experience. Well renound for the beauty, you may see professional photo shoots and IG shoots in progress. Most guest were kind in letting others view areas they wished. The historical markers were informative and the location is close to the farmers market.

It's incredibly photoge...

Some crews were playing lou...

Perfect spot for photos and learning about Miami's ...
