About
Key Biscayne sits on a barrier island reached from the mainland by the Rickenbacker Causeway, with Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park anchoring its northern and southern tips. Condominium towers line the ocean side along Ocean Drive and Crandon Boulevard and detached houses fill the interior streets; in Crandon Park the county tennis center and Crandon Marina are open to the public, and the state park keeps the Cape Florida Lighthouse, rebuilt in 1846.
