Biscayne National Park is in Florida on the southeastern Atlantic coast. There is no charge to enter the park but fees are charged for camping and docking boats overnight. The park's extends over 170,000 acres, almost 95% of which is under water. There are 45 low islands in the park, called keys. Visitors can participate in many types of water activities in the park. There are also some things to do on land. 

1. What To Do On Land
Visitors can learn about the park at the Dante Fascell Visitor Center at Convoy Point. Exhibits in the museum focus on the park's ecosystems and artwork inspired by the park is displayed in a gallery and films are shown here, as well. Visitors can touch bones, coral and other items at the Touch Table. Educational items are sold in the bookstore and souvenirs are sold in the gift shop.
