The Biscayne National Park
Biscayne National Park, nestled just a few miles away from Miami, provides the perfect
experience for any water lover. The park includes the southernmost coral reef in the U.S.
The majority of the park area belongs to Biscayne
Bay, located south of Miami, between the mainland
and about a dozen islands called keys.
This is the beginning of a chain of islands that
everybody knows as the Florida Keys.
The Park protects its islands from development,
giving everybody a chance to see and enjoy them in
their original beauty.
You may take a tour in a glass-bottom boat and
enjoy the coral reefs, fishes and other underwater
creatures without having to get wet.
If you'd like your experience to be of a more personal nature, snorkeling and scuba diving would probably
be the activity for you.
Other recreational activities within park premises include boating, fishing and camping. However camping
is available on the keys, not on the mainland, and is accessible only by boat.
The water area of the park is open 24 hours a day, all year long. Adams Key, which is only reachable by
boat, is only open during the day. No entrance fee is charged, but camping, overnight boat storage, and
other fees apply.
