Parque Nacional Biscayne

Biscayne National Park, located near Miami in the United States, is distinctive among the nation’s national parks—95 percent of its area lies underwater. The park encompasses a vibrant marine environment centered around Biscayne Bay’s extensive coral reef system, drawing snorkelers and scuba divers seeking clear waters and abundant sea life. Above the surface, a narrow mainland fringe of mangrove shoreline and a chain of islands, known as keys, invite exploration by boat. Kayaking through quiet mangrove channels and navigating between the keys offer visitors intimate encounters with this subtropical ecosystem.
