The park has a 1. Ride a few miles in a loop by routing through the various paths and roadways. The terrain is completely flat. Some paths will take you beneath the trees, and others offer views of Biscayne Bay. If you're lucky, you might spot an eagle ray or manatee. Mooring to the seawall is not permitted from 11 p. During operating hours, visitors who have paid the overnight fee have access to park amenities. Boater's Grill is open for lunch and dinner.
Commercial activity is not allowed within park waters unless permitted. Some of the best shoreline fishing in the region is available on the west coast of the park along Biscayne Bay. There are eight fishing platforms, and a section of the seawall at the southern tip of the park available for fishing. Nature trails are located on the west side of the park. To the north is a trail through the mangrove wetlands, beginning feet north of the Boater's Grill parking area.
A trail through the coastal strand runs from feet east of the Boater's Grill parking area and travels south ending in Area D. Our new launch is available at Beach Access No.
We have reserved parking spaces directly adjacent to the walkway. Since the portage is several hundred feet, we recommend a boat dolly or an extra helper for your convenience. On the beach, you will notice a "V" shaped set of safety floats for your protection. This is the only area on the beach where you are permitted to launch and make land from. You must portage by hand from the parking lot at Boater's Grill to the sea wall.
Please arrive early on the weekends as parking fills up quickly. Remember, you may not tie up to the fishing platforms anywhere in the park; the only beach landing site is at Beach Access No. We have 18 covered pavilions provide shaded picnicking overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, plus picnic tables and grills are spread throughout the picnic areas. Our covered pavilions can be reserved for picnics and events by visiting the Ranger Station.
