Coral Way, a street created by Coral Gables founder George E. Merrick during the 1920s, defines the Coral Way neighborhood of Miami, Florida. It is located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Known for its lively namesake strip, Coral Way is lined with banyan trees and dotted with Latin American eateries and bakeries serving Cuban specialties like guava cream cheese pastries. It is home to the Bay of Pigs Museum & Library, which displays artifacts from the 1961 failed invasion of Cuba, as well as long Cuban Memorial Boulevard Park. Homes with art deco and Mission Revival styles line leafy residential streets.
The Coral Way area is best known for its historic urban boulevard along SW 22nd Street (Coral Way). Between SW 37th Avenue and Brickell Avenue, Coral Way is one of the major thoroughfares between Coral Gables and the City of Miami.
