Most definitely a great place to start or end your holidays. The stores do not open until 10a as well as the restaurants are not ready for breakfast service. A few along the boardwalk provide beautiful views of the bay and great for sipping cocktails and people watching. Give the stores a go where there are so many options to buy beachwear, beach gear and daytime outfits. So if travelers find their luggage has been misplaced, check out Envy where everything is $10 or less. The ferris wheel wasn't operating the day we went down check hours beforehand for the sake of the kiddos.

Great spot to walk around and see the water and gorgeous boats. Lots of shops and little souvenir shops. Lots of places to eat and drink as well. Awesome Ferris wheel too! we came here twice to walk around and loved it both times

I really enjoyed Bayside market. We did go two times during our visit to Miami. Price wasn't horrible. Just what you expect in Miami. Everyone was friendly selections were nice. Overall good experience we did a Groupon for the boat tour which was absolutely incredible for the value.

It's like Maimi ran out of good attractions and shoved this in as a cool place to visit. But in reality it's like going to Times Square in nyc where they sell you all the name brands at a larger price tag. At least Times Square has flashy billboards vs the very average views at Bayside Market. The best part of the experience was getting free samples from the juice vendors on the strip. Some guy gave us free samples of coconut pulp and coconut ice cream. The coconut ice cream was deliciously divine but was preposterously priced at $11 dollars for less than a cup. No thanks. It was also nice walking near the water with the view of the boats. The biggest disappointment were the vendors. The items being sold were either tacky souvenirs or name brand items. Don't expect to do your shopping here and go to Wynwood instead. If you're in the area and wanna go for a walk, great. But don't go out of your way to come here if you need to commute from South Beach or another area of Miami.

This is undeniably, a tourist trap, but it's a fun one. Sometimes you can get a little bit too much of a hard sell, but it's a nice area and worth a visit.

This is your typical outdoor shopping center but what I liked about it, was the view of Biscayne Bay. If you were eating here, you can look at all of the boats and occasionally cruise ships as they cast off. You'll get a mix of the typical local stores as well as the chains that you find in every mall. Sometimes you'll have the shop owners trying to catch your attention so that you can peruse their store. I like to look at the local food here because that Caribbean and Latin influence is impressive. Of course, going to a local mom and pop shop would be better but if you're here you're here. Yes, it can very crowded here but I love the vibrance.

I finally visited Bayside Marketplace and it was worth the trip! This bustling hub in the heart of Miami is a true gem for tourists and locals alike. The marketplace is a vibrant mix of unique shops offering everything from trendy fashion to classic Miami souvenirs. It's a shopper's paradise, with an array of choices that cater to all tastes and preferences. One of the highlights of my visit was the assortment of bars and restaurants. Each offered a different vibe, from laid-back and cozy to upscale and chic. A standout feature of Bayside Marketplace is the Ferris wheel. Priced at a reasonable $20 per adult, it offers stunning views of the Miami skyline and waterfront. It's a must-do for anyone visiting the area, especially during the evening when the city lights add to the magical experience.

I just walked around the Marketplace at night. I enjoyed the holiday lights. I wish I could see the lights of Miami Heat players. The next morning, I visited here again. I saw a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay I found I didn't buy anything. LOL. Everything was expensive in Miami. I wish I could had more money!

Bayside Marketplace is located in the downtown Miami area next to the observation wheel and Biscayne Bay. There are restaurants, bars, and shops for tourists and locals alike to walk around. There are plenty of souvenir shops to buy trinkets at and is a nice place to roam.

This place reminds me of a third world country. Dangerous and dirty. It's a cultural whirlpool of disarray. People will pester you into buying souvenirs and sell you overpriced fried food. Even though the general theme of Miami is vibrant chaos, this location seems especially stressful. Definitely an idea place to bring young children. The cleanliness of the area was notably lacking, with debris and litter detracting from what could be a picturesque waterfront locale. Safety was also a concern, as the marketplace gave off an unsettling vibe, making me hesitant to fully enjoy the surroundings. It's unfortunate that the charm of the area is overshadowed by these issues. In summary, Miami Bayside Marketplace has the potential to be a captivating afternoon or night out, but the current state of disarray detracts significantly from the overall experience. Improvements in cleanliness and security would go a long way in transforming this location into the vibrant and welcoming marketplace it could be.

THERAGINGFORK.com Barely go to Miami but this was a treat. Bayside Marketplace had a little of everything. A huge ferris wheel ride to see Miami at a bird's eye view. Ben's Pizza had amazing huge slices of pizza. The Lola bar was hopping with dancers and cocktails. Plenty of food and fun places to choose from. Did not seem like a tourist trap at all. The only negative i have is the parking is tight with a $20 day fee, but understood it's Miami.

The location is 100 but the service in the stores is terrible. We were only welcomed at one store Champs. The other sales people didn't want to even welcome or help us, so we didn't spend our money at all.

My friend and I flew in a day early for our cruise and stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami. A few blocks away from our hotel we discovered Bayside Marketplace, and I'm so glad we did!!! This was the perfect place to begin our trip. We started at Black Market Miami for lunch. We had cocktails on the outdoor patio that overlooks the water and boats and it was beautiful. I ended up getting the ceviche and my friend got tacos. The polenta sticks were pretty good, but I thought the ceviche was a little too sour/limey. We continued to our adventures next door at La Canita where they had a food and drink happy hour going on. They had a grand piano set up for live music later that night, but we were in the exploring mood so we kept going. We made our way down to the first level and checked out some shops and other views of the water. Our last stop was at Kuba Cabana Bayside where we enjoyed, yet another cocktail, and hookah. This was such a relaxing experience as seating is outdoors and backs right up to the water and boats we saw earlier at a distance. I'd highly recommend Bayside Marketplace. We only stayed a few hours, but you could easily make a day out of it!

A nice shopping are down on the waterfront. A great place to take a cruise. We did the hour and a half millionaires homes and bay tour, it is fun and worth the $39. The shopping area is for be and the wheel is fun with great views
