A trip to the Miami area isn't complete without a stop in Key Biscayne, just a short, gorgeous drive over the Rickenbacker Causeway from the big city. From sunny beaches to the Ritz-Carlton resort, Key Biscayne offers all the allure of South Florida on a tiny sliver of land. Key Biscayne has terrific beaches and the added appeal of being sandwiched between two major parks - Crandon Park to the North and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park to the South. Key Biscayne also offers a nearby coastal barrier reef and the only federally recognized underwater archaeological trail in the United States.

 

Key Biscayne sees average temperatures of 74 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months. Summertime is filled with an abundance of activities in Key Biscayne, including golf at the 18-hole championship Crandon Golf course, various museums, Botanical Garden, shopping, catamaran tours and exciting ecoadventures. With just a 20-minute drive to downtown Miami, there is endless fun for the entire family.
