A typical family outing park ,pricey entry fee, good services and clean restrooms, clean beach, yet water quality is still not comparable to the best of Miami South beach, just 20 miles to the north.

Bill Baggs has good beaches and trails. It has two resturants and a lighthouse with schedule tours throughout the week. However, the enterance price is $8.00 per vechile which can be pricey for a large family. Their is no beer or wine allowed at in the beach area or in picnic areas according to the ranger. It was a nice... More

Over all had a great time, keeping in mind it's a state park & there's wild life. We saw a snake (Eek), raccoons, squirrels, cardinals & other feather friends. Try to do the lighthouse tour it's open from 9-5, quite interesting.

What a beautiful place. Pay the minimal toll over the bridge and the reasonable charge to enter the State Park at the far end of the village and find an oasis from all the noise and bussle of Miami. Unspoiled beaches, good, sympathetically designed and low key (no pun intended) facilities...indeed all you could want for a day on the... More

While in Miami for the week, we spent a whole day dedicated to Key Biscayne and Bill Baggs State Parl - glad we did! Beautiful state park with top rated beaches and nature trails. Bike rentals available. The beaches were super clean and picturesque. The lighthouse was closed when we visited, which was a bummer. 2 restaurants in the park... More

When in Miami, this is nice park to visit once. It has got trails for biking, walking. Very huge area, better if you get some bike and roam on it end to end. We were able to see whole end to end park leisurely in 2 hrs on bicycles.

There is an $8 entrance fee per each car. Then you enter to a very beautiful natural park right at the tip of the Key Biscayne just where the city and urban buildings end. An amazing park at the back yard of the expensive houses of Key Biscayne. At the very end of the park there is a tall lighthouse... More

Nice park with beaches. I live in an area where they have big natural beaches and reservations, so it wasn't that special to me. I guess if you are more used to living in the city this will be a very relaxing visit for you.

Very nice beach with dunes, a light house and picnic area, plenty of parking for $8 and open until sunset. Not too many palm trees as the Crandon Park, Key Biscayne beach but plenty of beach.

My family and I liked the park very much – beach, water and the lighthouse. I was especially interested to listen to the story that a guide (great guy with a wonderful sense of humour) told us about the history of the place and the lighthouse. The view from the top of the lighthouse is amazing. Also, the effort that... More
