Frequently Asked Questions

Nowhere alongside: small yacht-style vessels anchor in the sheltered waters of Biscayne Bay and land passengers by tender, usually near the marinas or the state park at the island's southern tip.
Both, and that is the best approach. The island is only a few kilometres long, table-flat, and laced with shaded bike paths. Bicycles rent at the state park entrance; taxis and golf carts fill any gaps.
Give the morning to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park: the lighthouse, the roughly 2.5 km paved trail and the beach. Add lunch at No Name Harbor facing the sailboats, then Crandon Park to the north if time allows. Key Biscayne village, between the two parks, has cafes and terraces.
The oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County, built in 1825. Its 109 spiral steps open onto a circular gallery with views over the Atlantic, the bay and the stilt houses of Stiltsville. The climb happens on fixed-time guided tours: arrive early in high season.
Yes. The site is now part of the Underground Railroad network: in the early nineteenth century, freedom seekers embarked quietly from here for the Bahamas. The lighthouse was also burned during the Seminole Wars in 1836, then rebuilt taller.
Two areas share the island. The state park beach to the south runs pale sand backed by sea grapes and is regularly ranked among America's most pleasant. To the north, Crandon Park offers more than three kilometres of public beach sheltered by a lagoon.
Very much so. The Crandon Park lagoon gives calm, shallow water, its nature centre runs wildlife walks — rays, hermit crabs, shorebirds — and the flat bike paths suit young riders. Bring a beach umbrella: shade is scarce.
Sometimes, in the cooler season, at the small refuge of No Name Harbor: a manatee occasionally surfaces between the hulls. Nothing is guaranteed, but the sheltered basin and its waterfront restaurant are worth the stop regardless.
Yes, both major parks — Bill Baggs Cape Florida and Crandon Park — charge admission in US dollars. Also bring water, sunscreen and insect repellent: mosquitoes are present near the mangroves in summer.
English and Spanish, mixed on every terrace. The village has a residential, multilingual feel, cortaditos and fresh juice included. The US dollar is the currency and cards are accepted everywhere.
