10Biscayne National Park
This park, 63 miles from Ft. Lauderdale International Airport, is yet another reason to visit Florida in the Spring. Here you can escape the chill still hanging in the air elsewhere, and spend your time boating, snorkeling, or swimming in the comparatively warm water. Although it is open all year, in the spring weather is neither too hot nor too cold.
The average temperature ranges from 66 degrees Fahrenheit to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to visit the popular Boca Chita Key. It’s one of the park’s official “most visited places.”
Hike to the lovely lighthouse there. Hike the trail there and explore the scenery on this island too. You can also take a boat tour and do a little snorkeling around the world’s third-largest barrier reef there too. Admission to the park is free.
