PADL

A water-sports spot at Peacock Park on McFarlane Road, Coconut Grove's bayfront green, open every day from 6 am to 5 pm.

Geprüft November 2026

Good for anyone who wants a bay outing from a Grove park without much fuss. The trade-off: our sources don't confirm gear, prices or booking rules, so check those before you show up.

Getting on the bay

PADL works out of Peacock Park, the open green at 2820 McFarlane Rd where Coconut Grove meets Biscayne Bay. It's listed as a water-sports service and a tourist attraction, and the name points to paddling, but our sources don't spell out exactly what's on offer or what it costs. What they do show is a strong reputation: 4.8 from about 140 Google reviews, which is a small but very happy sample. Treat it as a quick way to get out on the water from the Grove, and confirm the details before you go.

Early start, early finish

Hours are the same every day: 6 am to 5 pm, weekends included. That 6 am opening is the real draw. Calm morning water and cooler air make dawn the obvious slot if you can drag yourself out of bed. The flip side is the 5 pm close, which means no sunset session, and in summer you'll be finishing in the hottest stretch of the afternoon if you go late. Plan around mornings, bring water and sunscreen, and don't count on squeezing in a run after work.

Making a day of the Grove

Peacock Park sits right in the middle of Coconut Grove's waterfront, so a session here slots easily into a longer morning. The park itself is open lawn by the bay, the kind of place for a picnic, a walk or letting kids run before or after time on the water. The Grove's cafés and shops are a short walk inland from McFarlane Road, which makes a post-paddle breakfast an easy add. It's a low-key, daytime plan rather than a big production.
