When you reach the southern end of Key Biscayne (a.k.a, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park), you'll find yourself on historical ground, with its historical landmark that will take your breath away.

If the Cape Florida Lighthouse was what came to mind, then you've got it right in the bull's eye. 

Originally built as a 65-foot lighthouse with wooden stairs in 1825, the Cape Florida Lighthouse is the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County, though it has been rebuilt and reinforced many times. 

It's a beautiful piece of history leftover from the not-so-kind stories of Indian attacks, Civil War chaos, hurricanes, and other harrowing times in Florida history-- a treasure that has withstood more than a fair share of wear and tear over the years. 

Reminisce fascinating Florida history through the eyes of a tower-- visitors can hear about Key Biscayne's history in more detail when they visit the lighthouse and tour the keeper's cottage (all replicas, of course).
