What to Do in Key Biscayne: A Perfect Day Itinerary

Key Biscayne may be small, but it’s packed with natural beauty, local flavor, and peaceful energy that make it perfect for a full day of island exploration. Just 15 minutes from downtown Miami, this barrier island offers the best of South Florida—without the crowds.

Start your morning with a stroll or bike ride through Crandon Park, where shaded paths and gentle ocean breezes make for a relaxed start. Stop by the Nature Center if you're curious about the island’s unique coastal habitats or just enjoy the beach with its calm, clear waters ideal for swimming.

For midday adventure, head to the southern tip of the island to explore Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Climb the historic lighthouse for stunning views over the Atlantic or find a quiet spot to enjoy a picnic in the shade of swaying palms. If you're hungry, the park’s Lighthouse Café offers casual beachfront dining.

In the afternoon, explore the village’s boutique shops or enjoy a coffee at one of the laid-back cafés. Water lovers might choose to go kayaking, paddleboarding, or join a boat tour for a glimpse of dolphins or manatees in Biscayne Bay.

As sunset approaches, make your way to the west side of the island for unobstructed bay views. It’s the perfect place to watch the sky turn shades of orange and pink as the day winds down.

Whether you're looking to relax, explore, or enjoy the outdoors, Key Biscayne delivers it all in one compact, beautiful package.
