Description

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, situated at the tip of Key Biscayne, offers a scenic escape with views stretching over Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The park’s historic lighthouse, built in 1825 and Miami-Dade County’s oldest structure, stands as a testament to Florida’s rich past, from the Spanish explorers to its role as a haven for freedom seekers. Today, it’s a favorite for scenic climbs and guided tours. Guests enjoy a variety of activities, from fishing along the seawall and kayaking in tranquil waters to biking and strolling along trails shaded by native vegetation. The mile-long sandy shoreline is perfect for a relaxed beach day, while nature lovers explore the park’s role in the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program. A quick drive from downtown Miami, this park combines natural beauty, history, and recreation, making it an ideal coastal retreat.
