Homestead

Homestead, just 30 miles south of Miami in the area known as Miami’s Countryside, is an agricultural South Florida escape where visitors can find expansive farms and lush nurseries, tropical gardens, farm-to-table eateries, unique historic sites, and thrilling outdoor adventures.

The Historic Redland Tropical Trail, centered around Homestead, takes travelers on a path to many of the area’s historic landmarks, attractions, and points of interest, including the nursery and gardens at award-winning R.F. Orchids, Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery, the enchanting and mysterious Coral Castle, and family-friendly Everglades Alligator Farm.

A prime destination for outdoor adventures, Homestead offers access to two major national parks — Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park — for camping, hiking, boating, fishing, and diving. Families of all ages will enjoy the excitement of airboat rides and tours through the Everglades and seeing the resident animals at Monkey Jungle.

When it comes to finding a place to eat, Homestead’s restaurants offer a wide range of choices, from Tex-Mex at Casita Tejas in Downtown Homestead to hickory-smoked dishes at Shiver’s Bar-B-Que to the seasonal and local cuisine of The Redlander Restaurant at Schnebly Winery. At Robert Is Here, a South Florida landmark, shoppers can fill up on tropical fruits, local goods, sweets, and fresh milkshakes.
