Biscayne National Park
If you wish you had gills to swim underwater, Biscayne is the place for you.
95 percent of this national park is water. So yeah, you need a boat. Guided tours in the shallow waters of the Maritime Heritage Trail are totally worth it. That's because you get to explore one of American's rare coral reefs. Your underwater tour also includes shipwrecks, lighthouses, and seldom-seen Jones Lagoon.
Stiltsville is, perhaps, the most interesting place name on the tour. Stiltsville represents what's left of 27 structures predating the 1960s. These are small houses built directly over the water on stilts. They don't have permanent owners now.

If you prefer camping on land, Boca Chita Key Campground and Elliott Key Campground have tents and plenty of boat slips. Suffice it to say, your campsite is near the ocean. Winter camping is actually better because there are fewer mosquitoes.
