Crandon Park Beaches
take up the north
and eastern shore of Key Biscayne all the way from the
Village of Key Biscayne
boundary (where the residents of Key Biscayne live) to
the Bear Cut Bridge.
The property of Crandon Park continues on the west
side of the Island,
the western 1/3 of Key Biscayne and in that property
is found the Links
of Key Biscayne and the facilities that started as The
Lipton Tennis Tournament
and is currently the Nasdaq
100
Tennis Tournament.

But in all honesty,
why most of us
come here and live here, it is for the beach.
Crandon Beach is the whole
northern one
third of Key Biscayne and on the South side of the
residential area is
the Cape
Florida
State Park.
Both parks are open 365
days a year and
are open from 8 AM until Sunset.
Because of the wonderful
miles of beaches
that surround the island and that the Key is
naturally protected
from any more expansion, property values can only go
up as this is a great
place.

Crandon Park was once
home to the
Crandon
Park
Zoo, which is now the Crandon Gardens, and used
to have a train
that went around the Zoo on a regular basis.
Some remains of the
train tracks are still left exposed to this day, and
where the zoo once
stood is now home to cages without bars and picnic
tables where the native
birds, turtles, and reptiles run freely.
Residents and guests to
Key Biscayne alike enjoy both the Crandon Beaches as
well as the Crandon
Gardens.
