sunset)
If you don't make it to the Florida Keys, come to this park for a taste of their
unique island ecosystems. The 494-acre space is a tangled clot of tropical fauna and dark
mangroves, all interconnected by sandy trails and wooden boardwalks and surrounded by
miles of pale ocean. A concession shack rents kayaks, bikes, in-line skates, beach chairs
and umbrellas. At the southernmost tip, the 1825 brick
Cape Florida Lighthouse
offers
free tours at 10am and 1pm Thursday through Monday.
