Morning
This walk is designed for Friday–Monday, because it begins with a tour of the Barnacle State Historic Site. Try to get there for the 10am tour, and notice the distinctive roof, which gives the house its name.
As you exit, turn left and go down to the corner of Devon Road to enjoy the Mission-style Plymouth Congregational Church , built in 1916. If they’re open, pop into the back gardens.
Now walk back along Main Highway several blocks to 3500, the Coconut Grove Playhouse , a handsome Mediterranean-Revival building that dominates the corner at Charles Avenue. Continue along Main Highway to the next street, then stop for lunch and some top-notch people-watching at the every-busy Green Street Café .
Afternoon
After lunch, walk up Commodore Plaza to visit 3168, the Midori Gallery . Afterwards, continue on to Grand Avenue and turn right; go down a couple of blocks to the major intersection and cross the street into the shopping mecca CocoWalk.
On the next block, Rice Street, look up to admire the fanciful façade of The Streets of Mayfair mall (see Hibiscus Hill, Out of Africa). To finish off your tour, visit Borders on the corner of Grand Avenue and Mary Street for a drink and maybe a book on Grove history.
