Have you ever looked at a landscape in Florida, maybe peering out into a vast open space, and thought – this looks just like a painting! That’s how I feel when I visit Biscayne Bay – it reminds me exactly of Claude Monet’s paintings of Sainte-Adresse. Claude Monet, a visionary French Impressionist painter born in 1840, revolutionized the art world with his innovative approach to light and color. And while Monet perhaps never painted a landscape of Florida, this natural gem might just have been his muse.

Biscayne Bay National Park, a gem along Florida's southeastern coast, boasts diverse and vibrant landscapes. Stretching across crystal-clear waters, this park encompasses coral reefs, lush mangrove forests, and intricate seagrass beds.
