Stiltsville

Stiltsville, located within Biscayne National Park, boasts a colorful history that began in the 1930s with the construction of the first shack by Crawfish Eddie Walker. Once a vibrant hub for Miami Beach's winter resort visitors, the area was known for its illegal activities and unique stilted structures, which were home to lively social scenes until natural disasters took their toll.

In 1985, the land was transferred to federal ownership as part of the national park, and today, only a few remnants of the original buildings remain. The Stiltsville Trust works to preserve these iconic structures while promoting educational initiatives that highlight the park's marine resources and history.
