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.
