What are some water activities near Miami?

Biscayne National Park is a wild water and island paradise just south of Miami, accessible by boat, with the peace and solitude you’ll find at the Boca Chita Key or Elliott Key campgrounds unrivaled in South Florida. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park on Key Largo contains 70 nautical miles of clear Caribbean waters and coral reefs brimming with tropical fish, and offers guided boat tours for snorkeling and scuba diving trips. Oleta River State Park, a tropical hammock and mangrove forest park, offers kayaking and canoeing rentals right on Biscayne Bay. After all, where else but the Miami area could you swim alongside tropical fish, paddle with manatees, hike through alligator country, and drink cafecito outside your tent flap? The region’s warm weather makes it a camping oasis year-round. You can also explore different options for camping near Miami on Hipcamp.
