Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park
Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park occupies approximately the southern third of the island of Key Biscayne, at coordinates . The park includes the Cape Florida Light, the oldest standing structure in Greater Miami.〔(Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park ), Florida State Parks website〕 In 2005 the park was ranked as having the 8th best beach in the country,〔("Best beaches in U.S.? Expert ranks his 'Top 10'" ), MSNBC〕〔(Dr. Beach )〕 and in 2013 ''Forbes'' ranked it at 7th.
The park is named in honor of Bill Baggs, editor of ''The Miami News'' from 1957 until his death in 1969. He worked to protect the land from development, to preserve some of the key in its natural state, and was also a civil rights activist.
In 2004 a large historical marker was erected at the site to mark it as part of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Trail, as hundreds of Black Seminoles, many fugitive slaves, escaped from here to freedom in the Bahamas, settling mostly on Andros Island. In the early 1820s, some 300 American slaves reached the Bahamas, aboard 27 sloops and many canoes.〔Charles Blacker Vignoles, ''Observations on the Floridas,'' New York: E. Bliss & E. White, 1823, pp. 135-136〕 The US National Park Service is working with the Bahamas, particularly the African Bahamanian Museum and Research Center (ABAC) in Nassau, to develop interpretive programs at Red Bays, Andros.〔(Partners: "African Bahamanian Museum and Research Center (ABAC)" ), Network to Freedom, National Park Service, accessed 10 April 2013〕
==Recreational activities==
The park has more than a mile of sandy Atlantic beachfront, where snorkeling and swimming is possible. Besides the beach and tours of the lighthouse and keeper's quarters, activities include boating, canoeing, kayaking and fishing from the seawall along Biscayne Bay, bicycling, hiking and wildlife viewing. The park has such amenities as picnicking areas and youth camping. It also has a visitor center, a museum with interpretive exhibits and concessions. No Name Harbor, a natural harbor in the park, is used for anchorage.
