Designed in the 1920s as part of George Merrick's master plan, the Coral Gables Waterway is a historic 12-mile canal network winding through scenic neighborhoods. Lined with tropical greenery and Mediterranean-style estates, it serves as a serene passage connecting inland historic sites to open waters.
