Overview

Crandon Park blends wide, family-friendly beaches with wild coastal habitats on the north end of Key Biscayne. Expect calm water, shaded picnic areas, nature trails, and access to the Bear Cut Preserve fossil reefā€”a rare geologic window into ancient Florida. Itā€™s a favorite for beach days, birding, and easy paddles over turtle grass flats.

Local insight: The north beach stays calmer and shallowerā€”great for kids. Mornings bring the best parking and least heat; afternoon sea breezes pick up. Bring water shoes for reefy stretches near Bear Cut.

Nature etiquette: Stay off seagrass, pack out trash, and give nesting birds space. The park sits along the Great Florida Birding Trail.
