Island accessibility with mainland connections
Transportation in Key Biscayne strikes a balance between maintaining the island's secluded charm and providing necessary connections to the mainland. For residents of Le Phare Condominiums, several options are available to navigate both the island and the greater Miami area.
Within Key Biscayne, walking and cycling are popular modes of transportation. The island's compact size and numerous bike paths make it easy to reach many destinations on foot or by bicycle. Golf carts are also a common sight, serving as a preferred method for short trips around the island.
For those needing to venture off the island, public transportation options are available. A bus stop for the Brickell Station-Key Biscayne line is located just a short walk from Le Phare on Crandon Boulevard.
