Key Biscayne
Key Biscayne is an island that lies south of Miami Beach and east of Miami. It and nearby Virginia Key form the first (northernmost) of the Florida Keys, a chain of islands off the South East coast of Florida, the last (southernmost) being Key West. Visitors can reach Key Biscayne from the mainland by driving over the Rickenbacker Causeway, a roadway and series of bridges that span Biscayne Bay. Key Biscayne is part of the same geological formation as the Florida Keys, which sit atop coral rock islands, as well as partly-submerged mangrove swamps.
