Six miles east, off the coast of Miami, the Village of Key Biscayne is a premiere beach resort destination, hailed internationally for its striking scenery, historic landmarks, entertainment venues and high-end homes. Encircled by exceptional beaches, Key Biscayne — a barrier island — is minutes from downtown Miami and Miami Beach, yet comfortably removed from the flurry of activity. The Village, which connects to the mainland through the notable Rickenbacker Causeway, is home to the Tennis Center at Crandon Park — host of the Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Tournament — the Miami Seaquarium and Cape Florida Lighthouse.
