Palmetto Bay is located in the southern portion of Miami-Dade County. In 1982, the area known as Palmetto Bay was devastated by Hurricane Andrew, as most of the homes and businesses in the area destroyed. As many homes were built using wood frame construction, building codes were strengthened to require the use of concrete. In 2002, the neighborhoods of Perrine and Cutler Bay were annexed to Palmetto Bay, which was then incorporated.
Palmetto Bay is a family-friendly community with plenty of tree-lined neighborhoods, schools, and shopping centers. For residents who enjoy the scenery of the outdoors, Palmetto Bay offers many parks. It is home to the Coral Reef Park where residents can enjoy an outdoor walk or bike ride, picnics, or the open areas to play football or kick the soccer ball around. It often hosts a Farmer's Market on Sundays. Drawing visitors and residents alike, Thalatta Estate features a historic mansion set on the backdrop of the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Often used for weddings or other events, the estate is known for its Mediterranean-inspired architecture and sturdy coral rock walls greeting visitors at the entrance. The estate is filled with looming banyan trees and tropical landscape. Located on Old Cutler Road is Deering Point, a simple park that offers stunning views of the Bay, often visited by locals looking for a quiet place to relax. Finally, Ludovici Park is set near Biscayne Bay behind a series of mangroves. In addition to its spacious outdoor areas, it offers a library and community center.
