Cape Florida with Key Biscayne's condos on the beach today

This postcard of Cape Florida lighthouse on the southern point of Key Biscayne shows that this aerial photo was taken before there were any condos built on Key Biscayne including the first which was the "Island House"	Practically the same aerial angle as the postcard located to the left except for the Island House now built and breaking through the horizon of the Australian Pines
A very rugged, rustic view of the natural state of Cape Florida State Park in the mid to late 1960's. The jetties that protrude into the water from the beach were meant to slow down beach erosion caused by tropical storms and the high seas that accompany them. They proved to be virtually useless and have not been replaced since they were left to rot in the Atlantic Ocean. The "state of the art" 55 gallon drums used for garbage however have been replaced. The attire and size of the crowds have also changed.	A good postcard of the Cape Florida lighthouse framed in by the Australian Pines that covered the Park.
Not a postcard, but rather a picture taken in August 2002 by the photographic team from our Oceanographic Division of www.key-biscayne.com. The lighthouse "keepers cottage" is located to the left of the lighthouse surrounded by native trees and vegetation.	Cape Florida lighthouse from the beach
