The Key Biscayne William Powell Bridge

With a height of approximately 78 feet over mean tide, the William Powell Bridge (known to cyclists as the "Miami Mountain") experiences a rare moment where there is no pedestrian or motor vehicle traffic. This picture was taken standing atop the retaining barrier that divides the space between the vehicle traffic and the pedestrian path. The beach on the right side of the picture is Virginia Beach (Hobie Beach), the left is the Rusty Pelican Restaurant (with unsurpassed views of the Miami and Brickell skyline) and the Rickenbacker Marina. This is the Rickenbacker causeway that leads us on and off of Key Biscayne from the mainland. There is a toll gate at the entrance, so be prepared to empty your wallet at the start. Originally, the toll was ten cents and was to stay erected until which time the first bridge and road was paid for. The toll went up to twenty five cents and then to one dollar. The moral of the story? Never mind, just pay your dollar and enjoy the view.
From this point, it is approximately 4 miles to the entrance to the Village of Key Biscayne limits.
