Is a Florida nature reserve, a sea adventure that will be remembered for the rest of your life awaits you in this wonderful place! This corner of beauty and tranquility is located in the south of Florida, in the east of the town of Homestead. The territory is strictly guarded. Popular due to its unique landscape design, the park also attracts all diving enthusiasts.
95% of the park consists of water! And all kinds of representatives of the nature of this region live in it. On the shores of Biscayne are charming mangroves. The total area of the park is 700 square kilometers.
A huge colony of living polyps that secrete limestone is home to coral reefs. The corals of this bay are under strict US state protection.
Biscayne Park Features
The territory of Biscayne National Park is only 5% land, and there are almost 40 small coral reefs on it. For several kilometers along the coast are mangroves. The landscapes of the reserve are amazing — they are as if painted with delicate paints on canvas. You can admire the beauty and feel all its splendor only by taking a boat trip with an original glass bottom.
More desperate tourists are waiting for scuba diving. It is here that you can very closely get acquainted with the variety of fish and plants. Also at the bottom of the bay you can see the original corals and soft seaweed leaves.
In this park, nature has been preserved almost intact, and there are few terrestrial animals here.
The history of the reserve and ecosystem features
In 1960, the effects of global scientific progress fell on this zone, and some species of marine life almost disappeared. Excessive enthusiasm for the construction of resorts almost led to an environmental disaster. A campaign was created to protect the bay, which in 1968 secured the Biscayne National Park as a national monument.
Two biological cultures are concentrated on the territory of mangroves, which are unique in origin. They miraculously intertwine the living of different types of living creatures. At the junction of the two ecosystems, an original picture is obtained, some colors are sharply replaced by others, and some species of animals surprise with their "confrontation"!
It is best to visit Biscayne National Park from December to April. This is the dry season in Florida, perfect for diving. In the summer there are heavy rains. And often there are strong winds and storms that interfere not only with diving, but with ordinary boat trips.
The unprecedented beauty of Biscayne National Reserve deserves close attention. Even if you do not differ in great love for the water world, it is worth a visit! Excursions to Biscayne National Park will give you more opportunities to get in touch with the natural world. American Butler will create all the conditions for you to enjoy.
