Introduce your camera roll to a neighborhood where every corner tells a story, and each snapshot captures something raw, bold, or unexpectedly beautiful—welcome to the most picture-ready hidden gems in and around Goulds, a resilient slice of old South Florida in southwest Miami.
Decorate your feed with rustic charm, vibrant murals, and unexpected greenery, frame after frame, around Goulds, an evolving suburb rooted in the legacy of its railroad-town beginnings.
Blending growth with the soul of a long-standing community, Goulds pairs its dense suburban feel with contemporary amenities and an array of mid-century homes built around 1960 and new construction, which makes it the perfect balance of heritage and progress in the quietest corners of South Florida.
This unique feature can also be seen in Goulds' raw, magnetic backdrop of visual surprises, where you can choose from an array of neighborhood murals, weathered storefronts with personality, and alleys splashed with unexpected bursts of color.
Here, you can catch the beauty in the unpolished corners: a faded hand-painted sign, a rusted metal gate catching just the right light, or a patch of graffiti that somehow says more than a caption ever could.
And thanks to its serene yet easily accessible location, so much more!
Are you prepared to capture Goulds' spirit and visual edge?
Today, it's all about character over curation as you frame the real story behind the shot!
Here are the top five Instagrammable places in Goulds.
22400 Old Dixie Hwy, Miami, FL 33170
If Miss Havisham opened a tea room in South Dade and invited a garden party of peacocks, poets, and pastel-loving ghosts, Cauley Square Historic Village would be the result.
Tucked inside Goulds like a secret garden that forgot what century it's in, this restored 1903 railroad village is now a dreamy sprawl of moss-draped walkways, vine-laced gazebos, and photo-ready nooks hiding antique shops, salt caves, art galleries, and an actual tea room that could convince you to start wearing lace gloves unironically.
It's whimsical, weird, and undoubtedly Instagrammable, where one minute you'll find yourself sipping rosewater lemonade on floral china and in a tiny crystal shop where the cashier reads auras in the next.
And don't be surprised if you hear live music float past a koi pond while you're choosing between churros or tarot readings—that's just an everyday shindig at Cauley Square Historic Village.
Whether you come for the vibes, vintage furniture, or the accidental peacock cameo, Cauley Square doesn't just serve the atmosphere—it's full-on aesthetic overload wrapped in nostalgia and garnished with guava pastelitos.
12310 SW 224th St, Miami, FL 33170
There's something oddly satisfying about eating tiny sandwiches with your pinky slightly lifted, and The Tea Room at Cauley Square understands the assignment to a T.
Equal parts whimsical and theatrical, this Goulds gem takes traditional afternoon tea and gives it a dramatic twist, where you'll feel like you've stepped into your aunt's most chaotic dollhouse and decided to stay for dessert.
Inside, each room is a full-on theme: florals, butterflies, vintage frills, and more lace than a bridal expo, and outside, you'll see garden tables shaded by trees that convince you to linger for one more scone.
Yet, the Tea Room isn't just about aesthetics, although it's one of its biggest draws.
Here, you can enjoy a full spread of finger sandwiches, quiche, scones with cream, mini desserts, and a tea list long enough to convince you to trade your usual Earl Grey for something new, including champagne, sangria, and other 21+ drinks, if you're feeling bold (or if you brought your in-laws).
It's reservation-only, open Wednesday through Sunday, and unapologetically over the top in the best way—the Tea Room at Cauley Square is perfect for birthdays, bestie catch-ups, or pretending you're in a period drama with slightly better air conditioning.
13720 SW 216th St, Miami, FL 33170
Get ready to trade city blocks for 30 acres of rustic charm at The Berry Farm, just 5 minutes from Goulds, a slice of Miami's countryside playground reimagined with flair and flavor that'll have you reaching for your camera (and your straw hat).
A third-generation, family-owned farm that goes big on experiences, The Berry Farm boasts rolling hayrides, lively line dancing under the stars, and a waterfall of Instagrammable moments—sunflower groves, strawberry patches, and festive corn mazes all begging to be your backdrop.
Beyond the blooms, you'll find gem mining, bounce floors, a turf field, farm animals to pet, and seasonal gems like pumpkin patches and winter light shows, proof that this place knows how to celebrate!
The Berry Farm also serves pit-smoked BBQ, milkshake masterpieces, fresh açaí bowls, and playful treats like strawberry shortcake during peak season, so mark your calendars and plan your visit.
And yes, that includes adult refreshments, like cold craft beer under string lights, during weekend festivity seasons.
With off-season hours and ticketed weekend events like country line dancing, holiday festivals, and summer camps, The Berry Farm promises family-friendly entertainment year-round, with season-specific charm that keeps locals coming back—and your feed doused in rural Miami glow!
4) Zoo Miami
12400 SW 152nd St, Miami, FL 33177
At Zoo Miami, the animals aren't the only ones adjusting to the South Florida heat—so are the humans, fanning themselves between exhibits and pretending they didn't just sweat through their souvenir map, and it's part of the charm, just 7 minutes from Goulds.
A sprawling subtropical zoo that feels more like a guided stroll through the global wild, Zoo Miami's habitats are open and immersive, where you can trade cages for moats and enjoy eye-level views of zebras, Malayan tigers, orangutans who seem vaguely amused by your SPF struggle, and flamingos that could easily wander into your selfie, with no one would batting an eye.
Here, you're guaranteed a trove of exciting things to see, and its layout makes it easy for you to pace yourself through shaded trails, splash zones, and the occasional misting fan that offers quiet relief between the big "wow" moments.
You can also rent a safari cycle if you're feeling adventurous, or hop on the tram and let someone else do the navigating while you contemplate how a sloth can look that judgmental.
Plus, Zoo Miami is open daily and hosts seasonal exhibits, including a surprisingly solid snack lineup of mango smoothies, churros, and more, so you can stay 'til the sun comes down without missing the important meal(s) of the day!
12451 SW 184th St, Miami, FL 33177
Did you know that you can pitch a tent in a Miami woodland with peacocks for neighbors?
Meet Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park, a sprawling 270-acre escape brimming with lake views and mango-shaded campsites, just 10 minutes from Goulds.
A family-friendly campground tucked beside Zoo Miami, Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground offers 240 RV and tent sites with full hookups, hot showers, laundry facilities, and a pool to cool off after a day of exploring.
Here, you can wander the bike and hiking trails that weave through pine rocklands, spot avocado and lychee trees that peek out from the old University of Miami groves, or take a dip in the seasonal beach and waterslide area.
Not as adventurous as you'd like? Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground lets you swing between laid-back and lively activities, like fishing from the lake shore, tossing a frisbee under the palms, or gathering around a communal fire ring for potlucks and stargazing.
The campground even honors its namesakes with a mini-museum: Larry's humor columns and Penny's aviation mementos tucked inside the office, each corner more Instagrammable than the last!
Insider tip: cell reception is solid (Verizon/AT&T work well), but Wi‑Fi only works in the clubhouse—if you're lucky.
