Located south of Miami, Florida, Biscayne National Park preserves Biscayne Bay, one of the top scuba diving areas in the United States, and its offshore barrier reefs. Within the park, which is over 90% water, there is an extensive mangrove forest, a portion of Florida’s Coral Reef—the third largest coral reef in the world—and the northernmost Florida Keys. The park is home to a diversity of life including over 600 native fish, neo-tropical water birds, and many threatened and endangered species. Visitors enjoy fishing, boating, diving, snorkeling, paddling, hiking, camping, and wildlife watching.
