Available for wheelchair: Bayside Marketplace

Bayside Marketplace is a two-level open-air market bursting with popular shops, restaurants and bars. It is one of the most visited attractions in Miami and is set in the heart of the downtown area, right on the waterfront. If you have some time in Miami, it’s a good place to visit to buy souvenirs, grab a drink or snack and to soak up the Miami vibes and enjoy the views. Shops at Bayside Marketplace include well-known brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Footlocker and GameStop, and there is an ‘I Luv Miami’ shop selling local souvenirs. Visitors can stop for drinks or a meal at Bayside’s Hard Rock Cafe, as well as numerous other options such as Five Guys, Chili’s and Los Ranchos Steakhouse. In addition to the shopping and dining venues at Bayside Marketplace, here you can also find events such as live music and shows suitable for the whole family. Firework and laser light displays are hosted on certain days and the mall offers a great spot to admire the waterfront and city skyline. On your self-guided visit to Bayside Marketplace, you will find some accessible parking spots in the parking lot. There are four accessible van parking spaces available, two at the south service road in front of Bayside and an additional two behind the Hard Rock Cafe. There is also an adjacent parking garage with accessible parking, but this is not free of charge. If none of these spaces are available, Biscayne Boulevard has two accessible parking spaces per lot. Bayside Marketplace is fairly easy to navigate independently, with mostly smooth level floors and there are accessible public restrooms next to the elevators. If you are in the southwest end of the marketplace, there is an elevator between the floors of the marketplace. However there is no elevator inside the marketplace on the northeast side, so to go between floors here it is necessary to use the elevator in the parking garage, which is accessed via a service road. The bar and restaurant area in the center of the marketplace are accessed via ramps. Have fun exploring Bayside and don’t forget to leave space in your suitcase for all of your holiday shopping!
