Biscayne National Park

Homestead, Florida, USA

A Watery Wonderland. Within sight of downtown Miami, yet worlds away, Biscayne protects a rare combination of aquamarine waters, emerald islands, and fish-bejeweled coral reefs. Here too is evidence of thousands of years of human history, from pirates and shipwrecks to pineapple farmers and presidents. Outdoors enthusiasts can boat, snorkel, camp, watch wildlife ... or simply relax in a rocking chair gazing out over the bay.
