A Nature Lover’s Guide to Key Biscayne
Key Biscayne is often described as Miami’s hidden island, a place where skyscrapers give way to mangroves and the ocean stretches out in every direction. For nature lovers, it’s the ideal retreat. Staying with RocketStay means you can spend your days immersed in the outdoors and your evenings in a comfortable apartment just steps from it all. Crandon Park is a great starting point, offering long sandy beaches, trails shaded by palms, and a coastal hammock ecosystem where you can spot herons, egrets, and butterflies.
Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is another highlight, home to the historic lighthouse, picnic areas, and boardwalks that wind through dunes and seagrass. For those who enjoy water, the island’s calm bays invite kayaking and paddleboarding, and you’ll often see manatees gliding near the surface or dolphins playing offshore. Birdwatchers will find plenty to love, especially during migration seasons when flocks stop to rest on the island.
The best part is how accessible it all feels. Within minutes, you can move from the liveliness of Miami to the stillness of the island, with trails, beaches, and waterways waiting to be explored. After a day outside, RocketStay apartments give you a private space to relax — cook a simple dinner, sip a drink on the balcony, and let the sounds of the ocean remind you that this is the Miami few people get to know.
