About Crandon Park
Crandon Park encompasses a stunning stretch of white sand beach, lush dunes, and mature palm trees, providing a classic South Florida coastal experience. Beyond the beach, the park is home to diverse ecosystems, including a mangrove forest and a fossilized coral reef, offering unique opportunities for nature exploration. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, swimming, and exploring the natural preserve. The land for Crandon Park was donated to Miami-Dade County in 1940 by the Matheson family, with the stipulation that it remain a public park. Once home to the world's first active coconut plantation, the park's history is intertwined with the development of Key Biscayne. Today, it stands as a testament to the Matheson family's vision and commitment to preserving natural spaces for public enjoyment, featuring an impressive array of amenities from a family amusement center to a nature center. To visit Crandon Park, drive to Key Biscayne and follow Crandon Boulevard to the park entrance. The park offers ample parking, and visitors can access various areas including the beach, eco-adventure tours, and the Crandon Park Tennis Center. Consider bringing beach essentials, water, and comfortable shoes if you plan to explore the nature trails.
