Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at 1200 S. Crandon Boulevard on Key Biscayne, Florida is home to an 1825 lighthouse. The lighthouse was actually reconstructed during 1846. It is still the oldest light house in Miami-Dade County. Visitors to the park can tour the outside of the lighthouse, as well as enjoy other recreational activities.

The park is located on the Atlantic Ocean side with sandy beach, sunbathing areas, picnicking and swimming. On the keys there are very small sandy beaches, nothing like the South Beach or other Florida beaches. It makes the beach at Bill Baggs Florida State Park one of the most popular in the Florida Keys.

Anglers can fish from the seawall, as it is one of the best shoreline fishing locations within Florida. Tours are provided of the lighthouse and the keeper's cottage. They are provided twice a day Thursdays through Mondays. There are two restaurants within the park: Lighthouse Café and Boater's Grill. Both offer authentic Cuban dishes. Picnickers can use the grills or reserve the pavilion for private parties. Bikes, umbrellas and beach chairs are available for rent. Boat camping is the only type of camping available at Bill Baggs State Park.
