Biscayne National Park, located off the coast of Miami in southern Florida, was established in 1980 and protects a unique marine ecosystem encompassing coral reefs, mangroves, and the northernmost islands of the Florida Keys. Key attractions include the vibrant underwater world of Biscayne Bay, ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving, and the Maritime Heritage Trail, featuring shipwrecks that showcase the area’s nautical history. Visitors can also explore the scenic Boca Chita Key with its historic lighthouse and enjoy boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing in this largely water-based park.
