A trip to the Miami area isn’t complete without a stopover in Key Biscayne, just a short – and gorgeous – drive over the Rickenbacker Causeway from the big city, just 10 miles to paradise. From sunny beaches to the Ritz-Carlton resort, Key Biscayne offers all the allure of South Florida on a tiny sliver of land.

Key Biscayne has terrific wide sandy beaches with the added appeal of being sandwiched between two major parks – Crandon Park to the north and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the best beaches in the nation, to the south. 
Key Biscayne also offers a nearby coastal barrier reef and the only federally recognized underwater archaeological trail in the United States.
