The lighthosue is located on the beach. There is a short walk from your car to the lighthouse. There are sayings along the trail that tells you all about the lighthouse from the past to the present. There is a restaurant on the premises also. Nice drive. It is a National Park. Close during bad weather and storms More

This is what we have titled this spot, Bill Boggs State Park, Key Biscayne, Florida, with my most favorite lighthouse, Cape Florida. We are visiting South Florida for several days from New Jersey, which, at this time of year, is also gorgeous. However, we have to say that in whatever season we have visited here, spring, summer or winter, we... More

Tired of the mobs and parking and just the crowd. This has been our family beach since I was a small boy (1960s). My two boys come here now. Must see the lighthouse when here and explore More

Ofcourse, it was Mother's Day, so what can you expect? Loved the trails though. The beach was not so hot, not the best for the South Florida area. More

This State park at the end of Key Biscayne is a wonderful place to retreat from the city. The centerpiece of the park is the Cape Coral Light house which is one of the most piecturesque anywhere. It is open and the climb is not for the claustrophobic or out of shaped (kids under the age of 8 are not... More

You can tour the lighthouse, rent a surrey, ride bikes, rent a kayak, make a picnic, or just lie around on the beach. Stiltsville is visible from here, too!!! Fantastic. More

Drove down to Miami to take the kids (young teenage boys) to South Beach to swim for the day. But since we were informed that it is not uncommon to see topless women at South Beach (not really sure if that's true) we decided to go to Key Biscayne. However, since my mom had her dog with her, they didn't... More

We've enjoyed spending the day at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park during our visits to Florida in either December or April. This Park offers miles of sandy ocean beach, scenic hiking and biking trails, and shaded areas for picnics. The Cape Florida Lighthouse on the park grounds is one of the most historic structures in South Florida, and the... More
