Key Biscayne

About Key Biscayne

History

Long before European settlement, Key Biscayne was visited by the Tequesta people, who relied on Biscayne Bay's abundant marine resources. In the 1800s, the island was primarily used for coconut plantations, pineapple farming, and lighthouse operations, highlighted by the historic Cape Florida Lighthouse, completed in 1825, the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County. After the opening of the Rickenbacker Causeway in 1947, Key Biscayne evolved into one of South Florida's most prestigious island communities, renowned for its natural beauty, luxury residences, and exceptional coastal lifestyle.
