Prepare yourself for a great day at the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park! While you're here, make sure you take a tour of the historic lighthouse that dates back to 1825.

I love coming to the beach here. The kids love that the beach has no waves and it's not very deep. Not to mention it's very picturesque with the lighthouse in the background.

Tom Maxwell

Nice beaches to spend an afternoon. Be sure to visit the lighthouse ! Great views of Miami .

Kevin Dorta

The best snorkeling spot that I've tried thus far has been by the rocks that reach out past the shore next to the lighthouse . One time a manatee swam right past me! All sorts of interesting wildlife .

Luis Villa

If you actually want to go to a beach for the sand and beach (and not to people watch ) this is the best beach in the city , with the bonus of a historic lighthouse . For people watching , do South Beach .

Good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city . Perfect public beach , and if you like lighthouses then this is a good place to visit.

Bill Carvalho

Come early, have lunch at Lighthouse Cafe . Gets very crowded in the afternoon. Best family beach in the area.

The Ritz-Carlton

Uncover the many hidden bicycle trails at the Bill Baggs State . Request a map from the park ranger at the main entrance.

It's a thin beach that has some nature reserved areas so if you want a good spot on the beach get there early.

Josue Bustamante

Beautiful place! Awesome to ride in your bicycle near the sea

Bela M

Amazing sunset spot

Bela M

Make sure you visit the lighthouse keepers house !

Jennifer

Watch out for the birds and lizards. They are quite frisky and will grab you. Oh wait! That's my husband!

Monica Wetherington-Lugo

You need a permit and it is $8.00 per car, but well worth the pictures and the memories

Come after 7pm to get in for free (if you say you are going to the Boater's Grill).

watch the service at the lighthouse cafe ...severe issues

José Eduardo Teixeira

Local bem arborizado frequentado por famílias nos finais de semana. Possui área para piquenique , praia limpa e mar calmo. Destaque para o farol construído em 1825 (US8,00 por carro).

Pati Perri @maminforma

Parque bem gostoso para curtir a praia e a natureza! Pare o carro nas áreas de parking e alugue cadeiras c guarda-sol p curtir o lugar olhando p o farol !

Domingo Neto

Praia com o farol mais antigo da Flórida, com praia bonita e com estrutura para passar o dia, dentro do Crandon Park ! Vale a visita !

Elizabeth Pose

Playa espectacular, muy familiar , tranquila y con servicio de sombrillas y reposteras lo cual para turistas está muy bien porque por 20 dólares las usas todo el día

Nicole Fischer

Se estiver em Miami e quiser fazer um bate volta em Key West, considere substituir por Key Biscaine que é bem mais próximo e não deixa a desejar. Água cristalina como Key West. Lindo lugar!

Keila Trejo

Mi playa favorita. Siempre hay espacio con más privacidad que las turísticas aunque no está tan limpia (la arena tiene plantas del mar). Sin embargo, es una buena escapada. El faro y la bahía ????????

Nicole Fischer

Vale muito a pena. O lugar é lindo! Mas leve sua comida pra fazer churras lá ou um lanche porque o único restaurante lá é péssimo, pelo menos quando está cheio .

Felipe Lauton

Vá para o Farol : Vista linda da baía de Key Biscayne. Se quiser, pode aproveitar os espaços comunitários para fazer um churrasco ao estilo americano !

Eduardo Kneip

Lugar simplesmente incrível, pois quando se acha que já se viu tudo sempre tem um lugar mais lindo ainda.

Richelli Esmaniotto

Por do sol fantástico! Vale cada segundo....

Vanessa Oliveira Anjos

Um lugar lindo , calmo , natureza por todo lado! Merece a visita !

Zabdy Mora

Hermoso lugar , muy pacífico , playas deliciosas y cálidas. Merece la pena visitarlo .
