Biscayne

Dive in and explore the ocean floor at this unique aquatic national park. The largest marine park in North America (at about 173,000 acres) is, surprisingly, located just 25 miles from Miami and sits on part of the world’s third-largest coral-reef system. This underwater paradise showcases a slew of spectacular marine life, from tropical flora and magnificent coral to 200 species of kaleidoscopic fish, sea turtles, stingrays, nurse sharks, and gigantic groupers, all seemingly cohabitating just below the surface of the clear waters here. Most of the park is accessible only by boat (kayak, canoe, or motorized tour) while scuba diving and snorkeling excursions offered by the Biscayne National Underwater Park will help you get up close to the local residents. When you’re not making a splash, the rest of the park is composed of 40-odd keys that are perfect for sunbathing, camping, hiking, and fishing.
