f t PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1973 Local Traveler Visits A Busy Key Biscayne (This is the tenth in a series of articles by the Rev. William 0. Hanner, retired Episcopal pastor, concerning his trip through the South.) KEY BISCAYNE Everyone knows about Key Biscayne. We recognize it as one of the homes the President uses for escape from Washington. That is all most folks know about it. When I was rector of St. Stephen's church, Miami, Key Biscayne was within the parish boundaries. I had a half dozen families there who came a distance of about ten miles to church. It was roundabout and over Rickenbacker Causeway, which is the only road to the Key, toll 25 cents. The Key lies about five miles^ off the southern part of Miami, it is about five miles long and is divided into three areas. At the north lies Crandon park, directly on the ocean. There is patrolled swimming, picnic tables and every convenience for a holiday on the beach. You can park, hire a cabana, sun bathe or just sit. Nearby is a yacht harbor and on the Bay side there is a new public eighteen-hole golf course with a fine clubhouse, pro shop and carts of all kinds, motor or pull. Each hole can be played in three different lengths, championship, 7,020 yards, white length, 6,212 and ladies 5,819. Par is 71. Twelve holes play over or along water. It is a challenge. I saw it but did not play it. At the south end of Crandon park is a children's playground--one of the best ones I know. The rides are adapted for children. The one I like, best is the mile and a half train ride. It skirts around a very good zoo - well stocked and cared for. The little railroad passes a creek called the Kissimmee river, a pond labeled Lake Okeechobee, two trestles and "the smallest palm tree in the world." I always ride in memory of the days in early 1950's when Mike was a small boy. After the day was over we went to Crandon park to swim or ride before dinner. The central third of the Island is given over to homes and individual residences. It is here that the Little White House is located. This area fronts Biscayne Bay. On the ocean side there are high rises, beach clubs, a nine-hole golf course and an eighteen-hole pitch and putt course. In between these two areas lies a business district with several high grade restaurants. All of Key Biscayne was once a coconut plantation, privately owned by the Matheson family. Many, many coconut palms are all over the Key. In the central portion there are still several of the old plantation buildings. There are four churches in this district plus some motels. Residents may buy a yearly pass over the causeway and thus avoid the daily toll. The southern 900 acres of this resort is given over to Cape Florida State park. There is a small entry fee or one can buy a year's pa&s good at any of Florida's ninety-six state parks. There are not many palms here but there is a forest of tall feathery trees, locally called Australian Pine, Beefwood or Break Ax. This tree is really a birch but has long, feathery leaves like pine needles. The "needles" make a wonderful bed as they die and shed on the sand. There is a small yacht harbor in the park; four parking lots, trails through the woods and picnic areas. This afternoon I counted licenses from twenty-three states and two Canadian provinces in one parking lot in the park. The focal point of the park is the historic Cape Florida Lighthouse. It is an ancient building by south Florida standards. Built in 1825, it is now 123 years old. It has stood through hurricanes, wars, murders, Seminole Indian raids and pirate attacks. Ninety-five feet in height, the light used to shine far out to sea. The compound about the light has the keeper's restored cottage and out-kitchen. A "by­ word" sound system floats pre­ recorded material through a magnetic field which you pick up with a head set. Off shore a mile or so you can see "stilt village", a community of houses on sand banks used for weekend retreats. Seven to ten miles off shore ocean vessels can easily be seen^plying up and down the Gulf Stream. I have been to Key Biscayne five times this week. I have not seen the President's cottage. There is too much else to do.
