Key Biscayne — a sleeping island in Miami

Key Biscayne is an idyllic Miami island community known for its beaches, natural parks and exclusive lifestyle.

A brief history of the island

Sooner or later, every resident of a big city gets tired of the daily routine and noisy traffic. At such moments, I really want to break away from the bustle of the city and retire with nature. For residents and visitors of Miami, there is a great opportunity to visit the tropical island of Key Biscayne, which is located five minutes from the city. The main advantage of living and relaxing on the island is easy access to the big city.

Key Biscayne Island in Florida is an amazing place that amazes with a riot of greenery and wildness. Fans of outdoor activities and wildlife can walk through the coconut grove, striking in its wild beauty. People learned about this island thanks to the Spanish navigator Juan Ponce de Leon. It was he who discovered this heavenly place in 1503. In the 19th century, during the civil war, the island served as a haven for escaped slaves and Indians.

Today the island of Key Biscayne is an amazing combination of pristine nature and developed tourist infrastructure. Tourists love this place for a relaxing, secluded getaway on soft sand, surrounded by palm trees and sea waves. Anyone who has visited this island at least once will agree that this is where paradise is located.

What to do in Key Biscayne

If we talk about the sights of Key Biscayne, then the following places can be distinguished:

  • An amazing place for tourists to visit is the Miami Seaquarium — an oceanarium, where it is possible not only to get acquainted with the underwater world, but also to watch a spectacular show of trained dolphins, experience an adrenaline rush on rope rides, watch informative presentations about rare species of dolphins and whales.
  • For art lovers, there is a cinema and an art gallery on the island.
  • A comfortable beach holiday can be organized in Crandon Park, which provides a lot of marine activities to choose from: from boat trips to diving and surfing. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, the largest park on the island, also provides an opportunity to have a great time.
  • Biscayne Bay Lagoon is loved by visitors to the island for its peace and quiet. Here you can safely go fishing or climb the lighthouse, which was built during the Civil War.
  • The famous Atlantis Memorial Reef is a good way to reflect on the transience of human life and fragility, and find a better use for cremated remains than decorating a mantel. This is the world's largest artificial reef — an underwater mausoleum for the remains of survivors of cremation. The ashes here become an integral part of the reef, becoming part of the amazingly beautiful exhibition.

It is not forbidden here.
