Small mangrove-fringed islet in Biscayne Bay offering close-up shorebird and raptor opportunities (sandpipers, ospreys), clean water reflections, and framed views of Miami’s skyline across the bay. Best at golden hour and calm dawns for glassy water and active birds; winter months boost migrant bird activity. Easily reached from Biscayne Bay Drive with limited roadside parking—no entry fee; expect mosquitoes in evenings. Low-impact shooting recommended to protect nesting birds.
