MIAMI, Fla. — Did you know you can tour the several historical homes built on stilts still standing on Biscayne Bay? Here’s what you need to know before you visit:

  1. Ocean Force Adventures offers small tours of the Port of Miami and Biscayne Bay.
  2. One very popular spot on the tour is Stiltsville. A series of homes built on stilts about 2 miles off the shore.
  3. Stiltsville originally consisted of 27 homes but now only has seven standing. The homes are abandoned and currently owned by the National Park Service.
  4. The homes were originally constructed during the early 1930s, and some were used as night clubs during the Prohibition era.
  5. Ocean Force Adventures does include Stiltsville on their two-hour daily tours, but you can also book a two-hour private tour to customize your visit to Stiltsville.
