We had some time to kill after we checked out of our hotel in the Keys before we headed back to the airport, so we found Cape Florida State Park on the map and decided to check it out. We hit some horrendous traffic on Route 1 in Miami for about 5 miles just before the bridge that heads out... more

We were looking for somewhere different to go this year in South Florida. So we went to Bill Baggs State Park one Monday in September. The first thing that struck me was it was empty. There were very few people there on Mondays. The park was not perfect, but no natural park ever is. Here is a listing of the... more

My family and I went to Miami for the weekend. I had heard that the beach in Key Biscayne was the #9 beach in the US for the last couple of years in a row, so we made a point of visiting while we were there. What a disappointment!! The beach was okay, but I have no idea what constituted... more

This place is a welcome relief from the beach at the Ritz. Yes, the chairs you rent are getting a little shabby but for this beach it is worth it. I just wish I had discovered it at the beginning of my trip! more

Wow, was I ever crushed! I have been to this beach before and I just ADORED it (see previous review.) I could not wait to head back this year. But when I did, I was not as pleased. The beach was not as clean as it had been previously, the water was much murkier. The bathrooms used to be spotless,... more

This was my 2nd visit to this State Park. I love this park--it has a beach that attracts more the local crowd (which indicates the high preference over the crowded South Beach, scene). The bike rides, the birds, the 2 restraunts are actually very good! But the best p;art of the park are the people who manage it. We lost... more

We had a very nice day in Bill Baggs. There is a lighthouse & keepers cottage. In the distance you can see Stiltsville, and the beach is uncrowded. more

The view from the top of the lighthouse is amazing. There is also a small lighthouse keeper house museum that is interesting. more

It is a park that offers something for everyone. The Park is clean and surprisingly uncrowed(for a Sat morning). There are bike trails and exotic birds to encounter. The park was destoyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. But the admiration to the park, by the volunteers, who restored it, continues. It has a guided tour to the lighthouse. My son... more
