Beach & Bay Loops:  Round-the-Island
HACIENDA CANAL AND BASIN
1915

 
An early landing for Matheson work boats, the canal was dredged from bay to interior to transport plantation goods.  Tropical fruits, plants, Hacienda Honey, and coconuts were shipped to local and northern markets.  Wharves, sheds, and the "Coconut Husking House" were demolished in the early 1950s, leaving only a remnant basin which is located on the south side of the Key Biscayne Yacht Club.
