Key Biscayne is an island located in
Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, between the Atlantic Ocean and
Biscayne Bay. It is the southernmost of the
barrier islands along the Atlantic coast of Florida, and lies south of
Miami Beach and southeast of
Miami. The key is connected to Miami via the
Rickenbacker Causeway, originally built in 1947. The northern portion of Key Biscayne is home to
Crandon Park, a
county park. The middle section of the island consists of the incorporated Village of
Key Biscayne. The southern part of the island is now protected as
Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, adjacent to
Biscayne National Park, one of the two national parks in Miami-Dade County.
