This unique barrier island lies just across Biscayne Bay from Coral Gables, only a 30 minute drive from Miami International Airport and only 15 minutes from the nightlife of Miami Beach.

The island of Key Biscayne is seven miles long and two miles wide, and consists mostly of parks, nature preserve and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The Village of Key Biscayne covers 1.25 square miles and is bordered by the historic Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park to the south and the scenic Crandon Park to the north.

Key Biscayne

Often overlooked, this island paradise located just six miles off the coast of Miami is as rich in history as it is in lush tropical beauty. Originally discovered by Ponce de Leon, it is still sought by divers and treasure-hunters for its remarkable coral reef, and its legendary sunken treasure. Tourists also seek it out for its serene beaches, romantic atmosphere, as well as its many great attractions, restaurants and shopping.

Because it is often overlooked by tourists, Key Biscayne is the recreational spot of choice for many Miamians. From bicycling, tennis, golf and fishing to kite boarding, windsurfing, sailing and waterbiking, Key Biscayne holds some of the best that Miami has to offer.

Home of the Miami Seaquarium (the original home of "Flipper" the dolphin) and frequent host to world-class tennis events, Key Biscayne is a fantastic spot for savvy tourists. Some of Miami's finest resorts are located along Key Biscayne's scenic sandy beaches, but more than 3 miles of its valuable beachfront real estate remains undeveloped.

Key Biscayne also offers the most breathtaking view of Miami's skyline imaginable.
