Boca Chita Key Marina and Visitors’ Center (Statute Mile 1106)
Watch out for thin entrance depths and a poorly marked channel as you make your way to the National Park Service marina on Boca Chita Key, in Biscayne Bay.
After two enjoyable days in Miami Beach, Shady Lady and crew cruised south into Biscayne Bay, docking for two more nights at Boca Chita. Boca Chita (and Boca Chica both mean “small mouth”) is a small key which is part of the Biscayne Bay National Park. It has a small harbor which boaters can use for a $20 fee ($10 if you have a “Golden Age” pass). Campers are also permitted, but there is no electric, water or trash pick-up. The volunteer who lives there has solar electric power in his shop, cisterns to collect rain water, and is expected to live in a tent. However, he uses a small stone house that he’s cleaned up.
