    Hiking

    From Cape Florida in the early 1820s, people sought escape from slavery in America via the arduous sea route towards the Bahamas. Unfortunately, with the construction of the lighthouse on Key Biscayne in 1825, this escape route was blocked or made more difficult.

    Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is named for Miami newspaper reporter Bill Gaggs, who has campaigned for human rights since the 1960s.
