- Post Deployment family fishing
Fishing Charters & Tours

You want to fish? L&H is the one! We have been aboard twice. Once with 3 young kids ages 6-12. The Capt and crew had the patience to help the young kids fish. The 2nd time we were all adults. Another successful Family fishing trip! Capt Jimmy and his crew are professional, experienced and devoted to the sport. If there is fish to catch they will find them. The boat is clean, well kept and very comfortable. We are looking forward to the next trip. See more..
5.0 Diver's Paradise (60 reviews)
- Good experience
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Scuba & Snorkelling • Sightseeing Tours

We were referred to divers paradise by our hotel on Key Biscayne. We rented all equipment and wetsuits (wetsuits are reserved separately for an additional fee) and it was all in great condition. The dive boat was also in good condition and our guide was good. This shop makes it pretty clear that you are responsible for your own safety underwater. The two staff on the boat were very helpful but if you don’t have a lot of experience and would like a little extra help (in and out of the water)I suggest you talk to the shop about that when you reserve your dive We dove on emerald reef, which was “average” - a good variety of coral and small fish but nothing big. We also dove Neptune memorial, which is an underwater cemetery, and saw another typical variety of reef fish plus a school of barracuda. See more..
5.0 Cutting Edge Fishing Charters (27 reviews)
- Fishing done right!
Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Water Sports • Fishing Charters & Tours

Day trip with Captain Q and Lucas was all we could have asked for. They were a hard working captain and first mate team and were engaging with our group. They accommodated the novice anglers in the group and made sure we all brought fish into the boat. Captain Q worked hard all day to put us on fish and knew exactly where to go to give us the best experience. The boat was equipped with a bathroom, refrigerator and hangout spot that was air conditioned. On the ride out Q told some stories of the area and how the different hurricanes have reshaped the area over the years. You have no doubt about his experience on these waters! We left our day of fishing with a few bags of fish filets and great memories of a day on the water! I would highly recommend The Cutting Edge for any level of angler! Great way to spend the day in Key Biscayne! See more..
5.0 Florida Native Charters (25 reviews)
- Flats fly fishing
Sunday: 6:00 AM - 11:00 PM Sightseeing Tours

Capt. Tom Webber took me out for a half day. I decided to book him in the am before a the day businesses meeting began. I caught bonefish, barracuda and jack. He worked hard all morning to get me on fish. He had been fishing that area since he was 2 years old. He loves what he does and is very focused on his clients. I truly enjoyed learning from him and spending the morning with him. I highly recommend him for both fly fishing and spin fishing. Give him a try. You won't be disappointed. See more..

4.5 Ritz-Carlton Spa, Key Biscayne (71 reviews)
- Girls trip
Sunday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spas

Girls trip! We enjoyed our stay and would return! I didn’t know what to expect by reading some of the other reviews from last month but I thought the grounds were beautifully taken care of and the property was well staffed. We had a good experience at all their restaurants and getting served at the pool. They have two pool areas, one for families and one adults only. Loved the island feel of this resort (away from downtown Miami) great beach to walk on each morning. It’s like an old money beach cottage kind of luxury, could it get modernize, ya sure, but it’s not necessary for its price point and if you come with good people you’ll have a good time. We are Marriott Bonvoy members and we will come back! Covid protocols were appropriate and hand sanitizer stations were everywhere. See more..
4.5 Rickenbacker Bridge (45 reviews)
- Are you a Runner? This is Perfect!
Spent < 1 hour Bridges

Parking. A route as long or short as you want. Water views the entire distance. And... Bathrooms. Perfect for a runner, walker, families, solo. Only downside is some bicycles are on the walking path. There is a designated bicycle path so I don’t think they are following the rules. A bonus - saw manatees! Also lots of great beaches and Sea World, Vizcaya are close. See more..
4.5 Crandon Park (43 reviews)
- So cool!!
Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks • Gardens

We strolled through here around 6:30 on a Thursday evening while visiting Key Biscayne from PA. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was kind of creepy but super cool. Saw many peacocks, other birds, iguanas, turtle, rabbit, and I think two crocodiles. It was better than a real zoo. Definitely check it out. See more..

- Kayaking in Biscayne

Our guide Andrew was great. He told us about the area and showed us around a little. Then we explored on our own for awhile. He was around for any questions or if there were any problems (there were none). It's a beautiful place to kayak and calm waters. All 6 of us enjoyed it a lot. See more..

4.0 Rickenbacker Causeway Beach (98 reviews)
- Local beach spot and great for exercising
Beaches

The closest beach to my home. Of course a further drive you get to better beach spots but I love parking here and getting my exercise across the bridge. After suffering through the heat, diving into the water in this area is just perfect. Especially during the week days, there's not too many people. Saturday and Sunday is another story, packed with the folks exercising and a few beach goers. Still one of my fav go to areas. I get to workout then relax. See more..

4.0 Pilates Center by Bernadette (7 reviews)
- Pilates Center by Bernadette, Key Biscayne
Yoga & Pilates
My sister lives in Key Biscayne so I vacation there often. After having back surgery last year, I have a need to take private pilates classes at least twice a week whether or not I'm on vacation. I found Pilates Center by Bernadette this year and they were wonderful. The studio is beautiful, the staff is welcoming, and the trainers are very professional. If you need to continue your training while on vacation, I highly recommend Pilates Center by Bernadette. Prices are on par with other quality studios. They offer private and group classes. This is a cash only operation. http://www.pilatesbybernadette.com/ See more..
