Biscayne National Park
7.2Locals Score / 10#5 of 19 Parks & Outdoors in Miami
Biscayne National Park is a stunning South Florida park where 95% of the land is water — start at the visitor center, walk the long dock for views, then book a boat tour to see Stiltsville houses, Boca Chita Key, mangrove forests, and wildlife including manatees, sea turtles, and alligators. Boat tours depart from Coconut Grove and run earlier in the day, while kayaking tours are available through 3pm; small-group sailboat trips (max 6 people) also offer kayaking and snorkeling. Because most of the park's highlights require a guided tour or watercraft, plan ahead and book your activity in advance — just showing up without a reservation limits what you can experience.
