Biscayne National Park Photographs

Biscayne National Park
from Bob Cantor's National Parks Photo Gallery

Biscayne National Park consists mostly of water and a few keys. Canoe rentals and boat tours are available at the visitor center, but the concessionaire was unexpectedly closed on the day of my visit, thus greatly limiting my opportunities for photography.

A short trail at the visitor center provided this view of a Brown Pelican sitting on a Manatee Zone warning sign. The marina at Homestead Bayfront Park is in the background.
Two Yellow-shafted Northern Flickers were chasing each other around a palm tree right next to the parking lot at the visitor center.
Big Cypress National Preserve is west of Biscayne, bordering Everglades National Park on the north. This photo of a Great Egret was taken from the scenic drive.
Not far from the park, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden has several miles of easy trails through its beautiful collections of plants and flowers.
