#Key biscayne professional#
Home to the Sony Ericsson Open, Key Biscayne draws the top-ranked professional tennis players and spectators from around the world to its shores. Golfers rave about the demanding but breathtaking course, the Links at Key Biscayne. Runners and cyclists share the path along Rickenbacker Causeway and out to Key Biscayne for a scenic and challenging route.
Visitors to this Island sanctuary enjoy spectacular palm-tree lined beaches, upscale shops, outstanding restaurants and luxury resort hotels, as well as the many gorgeous parks including Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, listed as one of the best beaches in the U.S., and Crandon Park. Key Biscayne was incorporated as its own city in 1991. President Nixon further popularized Key Biscayne when he purchased a waterfront compound in 1969 frequently referred to as the Florida White House. Once completed, the island began to take shape attracting affluent residents seeking a low-key tropical lifestyle. Although discovered by Ponce de Leon in the 1500’s, the Key was not developed until the Matheson family, in 1947, donated a large parcel of land to Miami for Crandon Park in exchange for the erection of the Rickenbacker Causeway connecting the island to Miami. Key Biscayne, just east of bustling Brickell Avenue and the frenetic pace of downtown Miami, is a serene and scenic island paradise and premier resort community.
