Discover Virginia Key at VKOC-North
Located on a tranquil lagoon, adjacent to the ocean inside Virginia Key North Point Park, the Virginia Key Outdoor Center is Miami's premier outdoor destination. VKOC is your in-town gateway to the outdoors. VKOC's nature viewing is exceptional. Virginia Key, boasts of pristine coastal trails with highly endangered flora. A hammock nestled among an urban metropolis, this island presents opportunities for residents and visitors to connect to the outdoors and Miami’s history. Opening pathways to nature – take a guided walk on a nature trail, paddle above manatees gracefully swimming in the gentle lagoon current, Virginia Key Outdoor Center is magical place within minutes of the city.
Winters are spectacular with herds of manatees inhabiting our little lagoon. Summer brings bio-luminescent organisms to our waters. Enjoy and evening paddle where you can see stars in the sky and stars in the water. Independence Day and New Year's Eve are special at VKOC.
