Description

Boca Chita is the most-visited island in Biscayne National Park.

It has a good-sized harbor and a grassy campground, as well as picnic areas, small sand beaches, and a stone lighthouse.

To go for a walk on the island, you can follow this short trail loop.

It’s a sandy path that starts in a grassy field with scattered palm trees, then goes into leafy hardwood forest.

It more or less traces the south perimeter of the island, finding a few secluded beach areas between mangrove thickets.

You might bring a camp chair and cooler to sit and enjoy the solitary views. Source: https://www.nps.gov/bisc/planyourvisit/bocachita.htm
