Linked to the north side of Bayfront Park via sidewalk, this complex, composed of several buildings connected by plazas and open-air walkways, sits on the northeastern edge of downtown Miami overlooking the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay. The lower level teems with vendors hawking ethnic wares and local souvenirs; the upper level is devoted to mainstream chain stores. The marketplace lures visitors with its beguiling ambience and vibrant nightlife. Cruises on Biscayne Bay are available on a wide variety of vessels berthed near Bayside's northern pavilion.
