Just minutes from downtown Miami across the Rickenbacker Causeway, Key Biscayne is a world-class beach destination. This five-mile-long barrier island and former coconut plantation is home to picturesque beaches, lush parks, and elegant seaside restaurants.
Take in the view of the Miami Skyline from the Rusty Pelican, located on the causeway, and order from a selection of contemporary menu items with Latin flare. Choose from six food and drink destinations at The Ritz-Carlton Key, Key Biscayne, Miami, and for a chic but relaxed dining experience try Costa Med Bistro + Wine which incorporates European, Mediterranean, and South American influences.
Outdoor adventures abound on Key Biscayne, where boating and watersports take center stage. Hobie Beach, also known as Windsurfer Beach, is the top windsurfing spot in the Miami area as well as a popular dog-friendly beach. See one of the area’s most scenic beaches at Virginia Key Beach Park on Virginia Key, just north of Key Biscayne and less than a mile from downtown Miami, and find breathtaking views and spectacular sunsets at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, where visitors can hike, bike, fish, boat camp, rent beach chairs and umbrellas, and tour the historic lighthouse.
Families of all ages will want to spend time at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center on the north side of Crandon Park, which offers children’s programs, interactive educational activities, nature trails, and pristine natural areas teeming with wildlife. At Miami Seaquarium, just off the causeway on the south side of Virginia Key, guests can see dolphins and marine animals up close.
