Today was in the low to mid 70's and
the past couple of nights have been in the mid 50's. When driving
around the island, follow Harbor Drive nearly all of the way to the end.
There will be a fountain in the middle of the road with a round about to
keep the local traffic flowing well. Heading south at the fountain,
you can see the Mashta Island bridge perhaps 100 feet from the fountain.
The middle of the bridge is where this picture was taken from. This
body of water is named 'Hurricane Harbor' for obvious reasons. It
is totally protected directly from the windward side of the Island and
the inlet you see on the horizon in the middle of the photograph is the
one way in and on way out. This channel leads to the waters of Biscayne
Bay which is the leeward side of the Island of Key Biscayne. The
buildings that you see on the far horizon are buildings located approximately
7 miles from the vantage point of the photograph and are located on the
mainland in Coconut Grove. The multimillion dollar homes are
concentrated around Hurricane Harbor are complimented by the multimillion
dollar boats docked in the backyard and enjoy some of the most spectacular
views on Key Biscayne. Fishing is allowed from the bridge but one
must first obtain a permit from the Village to fish from this bridge and
there is only off street parking available and it is scarce however with
a view like this, it is easy to have your mind wander off to the place
where time does not exist.
