Cape Florida offers a beach-and-trails outing at the southern end of Key Biscayne.
The plan
Cape Florida offers a beach-and-trails outing at the southern end of Key Biscayne. The state park connects coastal scenery with a long history of people seeking freedom. As of the official October 28 notice, the lighthouse grounds are closed because of king-tide flooding, with tours canceled. The published park hours are 8am to sunset. Check the live alerts before travelling; beach access number three and the fishing piers also have separate repair closures. Plan the day around the open beach, picnic areas and permitted trails. Bring water and sun protection, and avoid building the outing around a lighthouse climb until reopening is confirmed.

Before you go
Read the current alert first; a photograph of the lighthouse does not mean tours are operating.
