Live Miami Prohibition era history at Stiltsville. This is unique... really. The closest Ive seen to this is Venice, Italy, but Venice hasnt survived decades of hurricanes. Visit now, as this place may at some point no longer exist. Another hurricane could unfortunately wipe out the remaining structures.
Love, love, loveeee these historic shacks dating back to the 1930s. It used to be the in-thing, the go-to if you were visiting Miami. There used to be 27 structures but due to fires, hurricanes and tough weather conditions, only the strong ones have lasted. A beautoful, historic places to see & I totally recommend it if you can. Only accessible by boat, but its well worth it. These structures are incredible.
Beautiful location to drop anchor and chill. Relatively peaceful, given the location. Cant get on any of the buildings, but you can pull up next to them.
Born in Mimi in 61 my uncle was freinds with Red Belcher owners of Belcher Oil.Mr Belcher owned one of the stilt homes in Stilts Ville. A short boat ride from Coconut Grove and we were on his dock fishing. Mr Belcher would climb down the latter with his mask and gig big lobster right from the latter. Just 5 years old we would in a couple hours load the coolers with fish. In the 60s the bay was full of fish. That house is long gone but the memories of Early Miami remain with me and my brother. Havent been on the bay in 20 years will definitely take my now grown son back where he Snorkeled catching lobster just south of the place I fished with my dad. May not be for everone but if its your thing a must see.
Its always beautiful here. Catch and release never disappoints.
A must visit to get the charm of old Florida #NPS
Reminds me of the good ol Tai O in HK....
I used to live here before Hurricane Andrew left it uninhabitable. It was sublime. Im sure theres still great fishing among those pilings. If you have a boat, get out there. Bring a pole with a decent test on it and it will be all that more fun.
Was neat to see the house on stilts.
Took the kids out to tube and kayak the shoals and along the channel edges. It was good for this as long as you stay on the edge of the channels otherwise you might get run over. At low tide the water is only inches deep so careful with that.
Too hyidden gemish.
The guys that do all the upkeep are really passionate about making this a place for everybody to visit and enjoy.
A must see in Miami. Id go and see it before another hurricane wipes the remaining structures out.
Shallow water. Pretty place.
Baldwin house is one of the most magical mesmerizing abodes Ive ever had the pleasure of staying. Dying to go back and make more memories!
Ive been to the A-Frame house a number of times, I used to be neighbors with the son of the man who built it.Miami is a big, busy city with constant police sirens and traffic and pollution and general ugliness. But for those who know where to look, there are small pockets of paradise that remind you of Miamis geographic location, the tropics. Stiltsville is one of those places.Its difficult to articulate how it feels to be out there, knowing that so many terrible things are happening so close to you but youre sheltered from them. Its like a mental safe-haven.
I love this place Nothing else like it in the world... At its high there were 30 houses.. Today only 7 are still standing..
To Chef and Captain... if you dont like this view, walk around the corner!
Ive seen these homes. I hope theyll be around for years to come. Too bad more cannot be built. I can support in this country for people to live there as they please. If more could be built theyd naturally be built to modern hurricane proof standards. Long live Stiltsville, Florida.
Love it
Great fishing the finger chanel on two hours before low tide. if nothing else a beautiful view of downtown miami.
True meaning of living on the water.
Beautiful Architecture on the water.
Love it here.
This place is flat out amazing
I have never been to a restruant that wouldnt allow something to be ordered off their OWN menu. If they have something as kids only they should have adult equivlant entrees. I do not recommend this restraunt.
Another hidden Gem, if you can get here, definatley get here (water vessle required).
Fasinating
The way it looked
