Sawgrass Miami mall, Sawgrass Shuttle

 


 


The first place that you may want to look for airboat tours is on the Internet. Well-hidden behind stucco walls and wrought iron gates, Venetian Pool is a former Sawgrass Mills Shuttle limestone quarry pit.


It was transformed in 1924, when visionary developer George Merrick was shaping Coral Gables. Merrick envisioned a Mediterranean-style city of plazas, fountains and esplanades, an orderly and beautiful counterpart to the urban sprawl he saw occurring in Dade County where he was also a Sawgrass Shuttle commissioner.
