• Bayside Marketplace - While Bayside shines brightly today, locals still share tales of spirits from the historic waterfront docks that once faced storms, shipwrecks, and missing sailors. Some believe their shadows continue to wander between the shops and along the water’s edge at night.
• Biscayne Bay - These waters concealed more than just boats—rum smugglers and gangsters used Bayside’s hidden corners to make enemies and evidence disappear. People claim that on quiet nights, footsteps can still be heard on the empty docks, long after the guilty have vanished.
• Miami River - Once Miami’s smuggling route, rum-runners, drug traffickers, and gunboats navigated these waters under the cover of night from the 1920s to the 1980s. The Miami River Cartel used these channels to unload drugs before speeding into the labyrinth of side canals.
• Brickell Key Park - Before the luxury towers, this was a secluded construction island used for clandestine meetings by Miami money launderers during the 1980s Cocaine Cowboys era. It was an ideal spot to exchange duffel bags full of cash under the guise of cranes and machinery.
• Star Island - In the 70s and 80s, some mansions here were rented as “stash houses” for traffickers—grand estates used to store cash and drugs. Rumors persist that a few basements still contain hidden safes sealed behind concrete.
• Flagler Monument Island - Bootleggers used the island as a drop-off and pick-up point for liquor during Prohibition. It was distant enough from shore to evade police but close enough for a quick escape.
• Venetian Islands - The canals between these islands served as “go-fast lanes” for speedboats carrying contraband. Some of Miami’s early mafia-connected figures owned homes here and utilized private docks for secret meetings.
• Julia Tuttle Causeway - The bridge has witnessed numerous high-speed chases over the years—from drug runners to fugitives attempting to escape into Miami Beach. At night, patrol officers describe it as one of the eeriest stretches of road in the city.
• Fisher Island - Before becoming ultra-luxurious, smuggling crews used parts of the shoreline as secret landing zones. A few old-timers claim tunnels exist beneath certain buildings from the island’s early development days.
