About this map

Cape Florida anchors the southern tip of this barrier island landscape, where the Cape Florida Old Lighthouse Tower and Cape Florida Light serve as enduring coastal landmarks. The island is defined by its recreation and maritime infrastructure, featuring Crandon Beach to the east and a series of harbors including Hurricane Harbor and No Name Harbor. To the north, the William M Powell Bridge connects the mainland at Brickell Hammock to Virginia Key, which houses the University of Miami Marine Campus.

On the mainland, the residential character of Coconut Grove is visible through neighborhoods like Ocean View Heights and The Pines. This 2012 survey captures the area's transition from urban Miami waterfronts to protected coastal flats, with established commercial centers like the Shoppes at Mayfair in the Grove and the Key Biscayne Galleria providing focal points for local commerce and community life.
