This beautiful house with a whimsical name dates back to a simpler time. The Barnacle Historic Stae Park offers a glimpse of frontier life during the Era of the Bay, when all travel to and from Miami was by sea. 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. Munroe preserved the forest on his land, cutting out only a winding buggy trail through the hammock barely wide enough for one vehicle. As a result, the property contains many large, old trees.
Left in its natural state, The Barnacle Historic State Park appears much as it did in Munroe's day. The Barnacle is a great place to enjoy simple pleasures: an outdoor concert; a picnic on the lawn; walking with the family dog down a tree-lined path; or rocking in a chair on the spacious front porch and watching the sailboats go by.
