About Key Biscayne...(at a glance)
Key
Biscayne,
Florida, a tropical island paradise just six miles off
the coast of Miami, Florida, is a world-class resort community
and premier vacation
destination. At the point where I95 turns into US1 and
continues all the way south to Key West,
is the last exit that will take the
traveler across the Rickenbacker Causeway, over Virginia Key,
past the Miami Seaquarium (the home
of the original "Flipper"), all the way to the idyllic island
of Key
Biscayne.

Horizon - The bridge as seen from the mainland
This unique barrier island lies
just across Biscayne Bay from Coral Gables and only 18 miles
(or a brief 30 minute drive)
from Miami International
Airport. Both Miami International Airport, the busy Port
of Miami, and the action-packed nightlife
of Miami Beach are only a 15 minute
drive from Key
Biscayne. Some people like to fly into Fort
Lauderdale International Airport,
and the drive from FLL to Key
Biscayne is just 35 minutes of highway driving when there is
no traffic to hold anyone up.
Here are some easy
to follow directions from either MIA or FLL
to get you here.
The island itself is seven miles
long and two miles wide. Incorporated as a Village in 1991,
the Village of Key Biscayne
covers 1.25 square miles bordered
by Bill
Baggs
Cape Florida State Park to the south and Crandon
Park to the north.
Key Biscayne is home to Crandon
Park
and beaches, some of the most beautiful
beaches in the world.
Reach the beach -
White sand, clean ocean water, fresh ocean breezes...
Cape
Florida is consistently ranked among
America's Best Beaches and normally stays in the top
ten...ANYWHERE!.
Lie back in a hammock and listen to
the rustle of palm fronds in the ocean breeze, stroll
along
the sandy shore of the Atlantic,
charter
a
deep-sea fishing boat, ride a jet ski, or
simply relax with a good book on the white sand beaches under
the shade
of a chickee hut on an island
paradise where the sun shines all year long...
