Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park
Occupying the southern tip of Key Biscayne, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park’s wide beaches regularly make the national top ten lists. But this is more than just a place to catch some rays: there’s history, wildlife and plenty of activities too. Cape Florida Lighthouse - Miami-Dade County’s oldest standing structure is the park's most famous attraction. Constructed in 1825, it guided mariners off the Florida Reef, which starts just near Key Biscayne. Free lighthouse tours are offered Thursday through Monday at 10 AM and 1 PM. Brace for a heart-pumping climb to the top.
Explore native wildlife planted in the aftermath of 1992’s Hurricane Andrew; and try your hand at shoreline fishing, ocean kayaking, windsurfing, cycling, and in-line skating. Covered pavilions are available for picnics, and the Lighthouse Café offers good food. Visitors are also allowed to camp near No Name Harbor for a nominal fee. Pass the toll that gets you through to Key Biscayne and over Rickenbacker Causeway and keep driving; the park is located at the very end of Key Biscayne on that very same road. It's open daily from 8 AM until sundown and admission depend on your mode of transportation.
