Black Point Park and Marina, close to Biscayne National Park, is the largest public marina in Miami. It was built by the Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation Department in 1982, ten years before Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc in the area. Several fishing and sailing boats and many facilities were destroyed. Attractions now include picnic areas, grills, bikeways and jogging tracks. The jetty extends 1.5 miles into the bay and is the launching point for fishing and diving in the Bay. Saltwater crocodiles and the endangered Florida manatee can be seen in the park. The Black Point Ocean Grill serves seasonal seafood dishes as well as steaks and snacks.
