Key Biscayne Travel Guide: Reviews, photos, & videos
Sometimes a remote Caribbean island can be a bit too remote. In the same respects, a busy cityscape can have too many distractions. Thankfully a fair compromise has been found: meet Key Biscayne. Located just southeast of Miami, Key Biscayne is a tropical island village nestled comfortably in the center of a four mile-long, two-mile wide barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Technically the first island in the Florida Keys, Key Biscayne is connected directly by the causeway to the mainland of Miami about seven miles away and features some of the most gorgeous beach front property found in the United States. It’s perfect for those who seek solace and solitude of a semi-secluded island but at the same time occasionally need the rush and release of the fast paced Miami nightlife. Essentially – it’s the best way to be in Miami without actually having to be in Miami.
Spend a relaxing day filling in those tan lines at the laid back Crandon Park. Located in the northern region of Key Biscayne, Crandon Park – with its three and a half miles of soft sandy beach and calm, teal waters - is perfect for families with active kiddos or the seasoned couple celebrating in the twilight of their lives. Not far away is Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation Area which provides the same standard of beautiful beaches and also features tours of the nearby Cape Florida lighthouse and rents out kayaks, rollerblades and surf boards for this interested in a bit more activity. And inherent with the pristine setting is a plethora of top shelf golf and tennis courses just waiting to be enjoyed. With vacation homes and condos sprouting up like Florida grass in summer time, Key Biscayne is quickly becoming a hot vacation and second home destination. So for anyone in need of a place appeals to the introverted and extroverted side in all of us, Key Biscayne is the perfect place.
