One of South Florida’s most iconic landmarks, the Boca Chita Lighthouse stands atop a picturesque island located within the Miami-Dade County and is a must-see destination for history buffs, boaters, and ocean lovers alike. Although now one of the most popular attractions in the historic district of Key Biscayne, built by Mark Honeywell back in the 1930s, it wasn't always meant for sightseeing. In fact, this landmark was originally built to be a beacon tower in case of emergencies for ships coming in and out of the bay.
 
Today, visitors can take a boat tour to this wonderful destination where they can take full advantage of their time surrounded by nature and explore all that this quaint island has to offer. On site there are numerous picnic tables and areas perfect for taking photos around historic coral reefs. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to spot some turtles swimming around nearby!
 
At Boca Chita Key there’s something fun for everyone to do: embark on a guided tour or hike up to the top of the lighthouse where you can get beautiful views of not only Biscayne Bay but also iconic Miami skyline right before your eyes. If possible try visiting late afternoon so that you catch a vibrant orange sunset greeted with 360-degree views while relaxing on the observation deck excellent experience! In any case, discover your nostalgia while admiring nature’s greatest gift with our Boca Chita Lighthouse on Framed Wall Art!
