Welcome
Since 1967, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park has welcomed guests from all across the world. The lighthouse, built in 1825, serves as the centerpiece to this, one of Florida’s most historic state parks. It is with great pleasure that the Lighthouse Café shares its name with such a historic landmark.
Located at the south end of Key Biscayne, this beautiful piece of history is the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County and was constructed in 1825 to guide mariners off the Florida Reef.
This landmark lighthouse serves as a lookout to protect the area from the pirates, Indians and other invaders that had been posing dangers to Florida throughout the 1700s and early 1800s.
Its past and stories are incredible but what’s most breathtaking are the stunning views once you finish the climb up the 109 stairs.

One of the best fried red snapper you can eat in Miami. Also, Presidente beer is served deliciously cold, as it should be.
