Stiltsville - Historical landmark in Key Biscayne - Crandon Blvd, USA

You wouldn't expect to find historic houses in the middle of a 95% water national park but here Stiltsville is! Each house has a unique history that's fascinating to learn about. If you don't have a personal boat, the Biscayne National Park Institute has a few tours that'll take you close to several of the houses

Took the Biscayne Bay Institute Heritage Cruise. Great experience. A lot of history was shared by the tour guides. A ride through Stiltsville was included in the tour.

Interesting enough, these houses weren’t abandoned, they were taken away from the owners by, you guessed it, the government. Because people can’t live free and where they want in this country, like over the water in Biscayne Bay, the government swooped in and changed the boundaries of the national park so they could kick the owners of these beautiful structures out. Welcome to America, now bend over!

I booked the kayak and boat tour through the Biscayne Institute and it was awesome. Highly recommended.

A really cool area to check out if you have access to a boat. It was really neat to see the houses that are still standing. We didn't really hang on in the area, we just passed through.

Such a beautiful place! To bad the government took it away from the people. You could tell the people that owned them loved them. Sad!

Beautiful landmark in the middle of the Bay. I visit this place several times a year as a charter and clients always are amazed at the structures and incredible view around. A must visit if in Miami.

Can only get to by boat. I thought it was going to be a great place for snorkeling, but not the day we went. The water wasn't clear enough to see much other than the ocean grass.
