Today was a wonderful sunny day. We first went to Biscayne National Park. After we arrived at the park, we found that most of the activities at the park were water sport activities and boat tours. We decided that we were not interested in any of the activities. After reading the map and researched on the web, we decided to go to Cape Florida Lighthouse.
The Cape Florida Light is a lighthouse on Cape Florida at the south end of Key Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It was built in 1825 and operated, with interruptions, until 1878, when it was replaced by the Fowey Rocks lighthouse. The lighthouse was put back into use in 1978. The lighthouse marked a reef four miles off-shore, and still marks the Florida Channel, the deepest natural channel into Biscayne Bay. The lighthouse is about 65-foot-tall, five feet thick at the bottom tapering, and two feet thick at the top. The lighthouse ground was open to the public. Unfortunately, the lighthouse itself was closed to the public.
Our Miami trip would not be complete without visiting Miami Beach. Miami Beach is also called South Beach. We arrived at the beach after 1:30 pm. There were many people at the beach already. The combination of weather, ocean, sunshine, and beach was perfect. Nothing can compare it. Beachcombing is my favor activity. I collected many seashells. Each shell is so different from the other.
Oh! I forgot to mention that the temperature today was about 80 degree at Miami Beach and the temperature in Minneapolis was a single digit with snow storm. It reminds us how lucky we are.
Miami is really a nice place to visit during the winter time.
We are heading back to Seattle after tomorrow.
Thank you for visiting my blog. See you next time.
Seems to be summer! I envy you. Take care and Keep blogging. Ayumi
