Biscayne Bay Notes:
Biscayne Bay is a 35
mile long lagoon that connects to the Atlantic Ocean.
The North Bay separates Miami Beach on its barrier
island from Miami on the mainland. The Central
Bay is the largest part of the bay. It is separated
from the Atlantic Ocean by the Safety Valve, a series of
shallow flats separated by tidal flow channels,
stretching from the south end of Key Biscayne to the
Ragged Keys at the north end of the Florida Keys.
The South Bay is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by
the northernmost of the Florida Keys, and is connected
to Florida Bay through channels and "sounds"
lying between the mainland and the keys.
