Sailing nearby: Biscayne Bay
Biscayne Bay is sheltered and shallow in places, so watch the depths. No Name Harbor on Key Biscayne, inside Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, is a popular overnight stop a short sail from Miami Beach; the park charges a fee.
Further south, Biscayne National Park protects reefs and islands; check the park’s rules before anchoring. Checked October 2026.
