When we think ‘beach’ and ‘Miami,’ we’re usually thinking South Beach. It’s stunning, of course, but crowded because of its popularity. So it’s time to have a look at some of Miami’s other sandy gems.
Crandon Park
Crandon Park is an urban park situated in Miami, in the north of Key Biscayne. Two miles of beach with dunes are home to a wide variety of animals, such as herons, butterflies, ospreys, and sea turtles.
Bill Baggs Cape
Ranked the 8th best beach in the United States in 2005, the beach at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation Area is situated at the southern end of Key Biscayne.
The mile-long Atlantic beach provides swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and a host of other water-based activities, as well as walking, wildlife, cycling, and picnicking opportunities.
