    Wow! So close to the city!
    Great park near the city, has lots of parking, boat moorings, beach area, has a cafe & a new one opening (it appears). This is part of the Underground Railroad for you history buffs! The lighthouse was nice to see outside. On a very quiet weekday the guy said it would reopen at 1:00 (it was 10:50 and people were up in it) so after our long walk we never got to see it at 1:30 or so. Too crowded (they limit it to 10 people at a time). Bummer. A Pepsi (can) & an ice tea (very small) was $5 which I felt a tad overpriced. Has a nice asphalt trail for cycling around the loop. Or you can walk on the sandy area. Nice views of the city. Dogs allowed. Raccoons around so watch your dog!

    A beautiful spot in nature that is family friendly
    Although we went on a bit of a chilly day, we had a wonderful experience in Bill Baggs! We took the B route from Brickell on the bus and were dropped off at the stop right in front of the park in Key Biscayne after ~20mins! After a short walk into the park, you pay $2/person and continue towards the lighthouse and beach. We set up camp on the beach close to the water and it was very quiet and relaxing by the time we got there (~12:30pm). There are also bathrooms and showers right next to the beach (just wish the changing area in the bathroom was a bit more private). We left our stuff and walked around a bit, down towards the lighthouse. They let 8-10 people up at once, but the line went quickly. It was a beautiful view from the top-- you can see the city and the beach. One thing to note is that it is quite high and there is little space between the railing and the lighthouse itself on the lookout, so if you are very afraid of heights or get bad vertigo, this might not be for you. We didn't eat at the lighthouse cafe, but it looked like it had delicious, fresh and cheap seafood! There are also different types of bikes to rent, local trails, and an ice cream truck!
