Description

Boca Chita Key, a picturesque island in Biscayne National Park, is celebrated for its historic lighthouse, built by Mark Honeywell in the 1930s. This iconic beacon not only aids boaters but also highlights the island’s scenic and historic charm. As the most visited island in the park, Boca Chita offers covered picnic areas, restroom facilities, and a camping site, making it a perfect spot for daytime picnics or overnight stays under the stars. Just north of the upper Florida Keys, this serene escape invites visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of Miami-Dade County’s coastal landscapes.
