About

Cauley Square has been around since 1903, which makes it older than most of Miami's skyline by a wide margin. The village sits in South Miami-Dade, about 20 minutes from the main entrance to Everglades National Park, and it genuinely feels like a different era. Classic chalets, big shade trees, and lush landscaping set the tone before you even step inside.

The mix of businesses here is genuinely eclectic. You've got antique shops, a tea house, art galleries, spiritual and crystal shops, a flower shop, a bookstore, a chapel, and a restaurant all sharing the same quiet grounds. Local owners run most of them, and the vibe is relaxed and friendly. It's the kind of place where you wander without a plan and end up spending two hours.

Sunday is the best day to visit. The farmer's market brings live music and local vendors selling food and handmade goods, and the whole village takes on a festive but unhurried energy. (Weekdays are quieter if you want the place mostly to yourself.)

Many Miami locals have never made it here, partly because the beaches and Wynwood tend to absorb all the attention. That's their loss. If you're spending time in Homestead or heading into the Everglades, Cauley Square is an easy and worthwhile detour. Families do well here. So do solo wanderers. Parking is free and the pace is slow.

Cauley Square Historic Village is one of those places that many Miami locals have never heard of because most of the attention goes to the beaches, Brickell, and Wynwood. That’s a shame, because this is a really unique spot. If you’re familiar with Buena Vista near the Design District, think of something similar but larger, greener, and with a more secluded, Old Florida feel. The property is filled with small businesses, gardens, shaded pathways, and plenty of spots to wander around at your own pace. My favorite part was the peacocks roaming the grounds. I visited shortly after a rain shower, so they weren’t putting on much of a display. I’ll have to come back on a sunny day and hopefully catch them showing off their feathers. This isn’t a destination where you’ll spend an entire day, but it’s a great place to stroll, browse a few shops, grab a bite or coffee, and enjoy a different side of Miami away from the usual tourist spots. Best of all, it’s free. If you’re exploring the Redland/Homestead area or looking for something different to do, it’s absolutely worth a stop. Highly recommended.

I love visiting Cauley Square! This charming historic village has a peaceful atmosphere, beautiful trees and lush greenery. I enjoy exploring the spiritual shops, art galleries, antique stores, bookstores, and flower shops. A unique hidden gem in South Florida that’s perfect for a relaxing stroll.

I loved this place! We came on a Sunday and there was a farmer's market with live music and several unique businesses offering food and homemade products. There's lush landscaping everywhere, making it a nice place to unwind and relax. There's food available at the farmer's market, a tea house and two food trucks further down the street. Besides the market, you can walk down the street and check-out other cute shops. The whole block is full of places to visit, including a plaza where you can sit and relax. I brought my dog along and it was a great place for pictures. There's a lot of Peacock towards the back. You can also host outdoor events here. Street parking available is free

Historical scenery. You will find all kinds of small shops all run by local individuals who are very friendly. You'll find an antique shop, a restaurant,a flower shop, a chapel , a clothing shop and a crystal shop. There may be more to see that I didn't get a chance yet to see. It feels like it's own tiny little town. A village, as that is what it is called. Each shop is its own individual location but together they all give the same loving energy.
