Boca Chita - Biscayne National Park
Boca Chita is a small island that is located approximately 12 miles south of the Cape Florida lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and Boca Chita Key approximately 9 miles from Convoy Point.
WARNING!!! --- MOSQUITOES ARE REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD OVER SUMMER MONTHS!
At one point, Boca Chita was privately owned and as the owner was preparing the island for his own private use until which time his wife was fatally injured on the island. She later passed away due to the injuries sustained. He found the memories too deep to continue work on developing the island of Boca Chita and transferred ownership of the island.
Boca Chita is now owned and maintained by the U.S. National park services.
The fish are abundant, the water is clear, the location beautiful and facilities clean.
