An island paradise located in sunny Miami, Key Biscayne is an oasis within an oasis. You’ll get the best view of Miami as you navigate the bridge into the island. Once inside you’ll feel in another city all together. Golf carts, bikes, and walking are the main means of transportation. Sandwiched between two major parks, Key Biscayne offers a wide variety of outdoor activities. Dig your feet into the white sandy beaches of the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park or grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants on the island. Be on the lookout for dolphins and manatee, see where the Nixon Winter Whitehouse stood, and walk by where pirates hid in No Name Harbor (yes, its really called No Name Harbor).

Head over to Bill Baggs State Park and visit the lighthouse built in 1825! It was the only lighthouse to be attacked by Indians. Talk about historic. Sunbathe, swim, or picnic on the sandy Atlantic beachfront. Grab your bike and navigate the paths with views of Biscayne Bay (you might even spot a manatee). Reserve a pavilion so you can stop and fire up some burgers on a grill. Or head over to one of two restaurants located inside the park and let them cook for you.
