4-8 Caesar Creek to No Name Harbor (southern point of Key Biscayne, just south of Miami)

No Name Harbour is a terrific anchorage that is part of Bill Baggs Park, just south of Miami. This historic lighthouse marks the park.

We have never been particularly big park goers, but I have to say the Florida Parks system is pretty impressive, especially if you are a boater.
I loved being in a quiet park while also being able to see some of the Miami sky scrapers.

The anchorage in this park is perfectly protected, and has two restaurants (I would recommend the one by the beach, not the one at the anchorage that we went to).

There is also a nice scenic walking path.

The restaurant sold ice, so we had pina coladas for a treat while we watched a magnificant sunset from the boat's upper deck. For an added bonus a school of dolphins swam in at twilight. A family with small children was walking nearby just then, and the children's squeals of delight made the moment just that much more magical.
