No Name Harbor is a natural harbor on Key Biscayne, Florida. It is located within the boundaries of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. In the 19th century, the site served as a food-rich rookery for herons, egrets, and other species of wildlife. [1] Originally, the site was privately owned prior to the creation of the state park. [2] Several development plans indicated the land was slated for the construction of condominiums and residential homes. [2] The surrounding land was cleared for development in the 1950s, [1] and charts identified the body of water as "No Name Harbor". [2] The plans failed, and the harbor's name was retained. [2]
