Crandon Park
A family-friendly beach on the northern half of Key Biscayne, where a sandbar offshore breaks the waves and the water stays shallow and calm.
Crandon Park covers the northern half of Key Biscayne, with long sandy beaches and shady palm trees. Near the shore, a sandbar forms a shallow lagoon that is safe for children to splash in. The park also has a nature center, a seagrass bed ecology trail, a tennis center and barbecue areas. Compared with the crowded South Beach, it feels more like a weekend getaway for Miami locals. Parking is charged per vehicle; check official sources for current rates.
