About
Biscayne Nature Center is a public beach access point on Key Biscayne in Florida, set within Crandon Park and about 2 miles from the town of Key Biscayne. Restrooms are available on site, and a fee is charged for access. The most comfortable stretch for a beach day runs from about December through April, when typical highs sit around 77 to 84°F and rain falls on roughly six to eight days a month. Those are typical averages from the nearby Cape Florida weather station, and from June through September highs climb to about 90 to 91°F with around 14 to 15 wet days each month. For a change from the sand, Alice Wainwright Park, a climbing area, lies about 4 miles away.
