For residents of Key Biscayne, the USPS Key Biscayne Branch, situated at 951 Crandon Boulevard, offers a convenient location for passport application processing. The branch is a familiar landmark for those living in the island’s various neighborhoods, from the luxury condos of Ocean Club to the family homes near the Key Biscayne Community Church on Harbor Drive. It’s easily accessible from most points on the island, particularly for residents near the intersection of Crandon Boulevard and Mashta Drive. Established to primarily serve the approximately 13,000 permanent residents, including a significant retiree population and young families drawn to the excellent schools like Key Biscayne K-8 Center, the branch also handles a seasonal influx of tourists and winter residents who seek passport services. Its location along Crandon Boulevard, the main thoroughfare connecting Key Biscayne to mainland Miami via the Rickenbacker Causeway, makes it accessible not only to islanders but also to visitors staying at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne or the Silver Sands Beach Resort. The nearby Village Green park, just a few blocks south, provides a recreational space often frequented by families after completing their postal errands. Historically, the post office has been a vital part of the community since the island’s development in the mid-20th century, reflecting the growth and changing needs of Key Biscayne. The current building, while not historically significant itself, replaced an earlier, smaller postal facility that stood closer to what is now the shopping plaza near the Publix supermarket. Key Biscayne, a barrier island known for its pristine beaches and relaxed lifestyle, relies heavily on the USPS for both personal and business correspondence. The Key Biscayne branch handles a disproportionately large volume of international mail and packages, given the island’s affluent and internationally connected residents. The post office also serves the employees of the various businesses and organizations located on the island, including those working at the Miami Seaquarium, just over the causeway, and the numerous law firms and financial institutions that maintain offices in the commercial area along Crandon Boulevard. This particular USPS branch sees a steady stream of locals applying for passport renewals in advance of cruises departing from the Port of Miami, as well as those planning international vacations. The facility’s staff is generally familiar with the unique challenges faced by island residents, such as occasional road closures due to events like the Miami Marathon, which can temporarily impact access to the post office. It is a particularly convenient location for residents of the gated communities along Mashta Drive and those living in the high-rise condos on the southern end of the island, offering a nearby alternative to traveling to mainland Miami for passport services. The branch is also a go-to place for residents needing to send important documents securely via registered mail or obtain money orders, particularly for transactions involving real estate or other large purchases. In summary, the USPS Key Biscayne Branch is more than just a place to mail a letter; it is a crucial community resource that facilitates international travel, supports local businesses, and provides essential services to the diverse population of Key Biscayne.

Located at USPS KEY BISCAYNE BRANCH at 951 CRANDON BLVD.. Easy access from major highways.
Parking at the USPS Key Biscayne Branch can sometimes be a challenge, especially during peak hours and on weekends. The branch has a small, dedicated parking lot with approximately 15 spaces directly in front of the building, accessed from Crandon Boulevard. These spots are often full, requiring visitors to seek alternative parking options. Street parking is available along Crandon Boulevard, metered at $2.00 per hour from 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday. Be aware that these meters are strictly enforced by the Village of Key Biscayne parking enforcement officers. Another option is the public parking lot located behind the nearby Key Biscayne shopping center, about a 2-block walk west on the pedestrian path. This lot offers a larger number of spaces, but it can also fill up quickly, particularly on weekends and during special events. During the summer months, the asphalt parking lots become extremely hot, so it’s advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Conversely, during occasional heavy rainstorms, street parking can become flooded, so consider using the shopping center lot. For passport appointments, arriving at least 15-20 minutes early is recommended to allow ample time to find parking. Consider using the ParkMobile app to pay for metered parking directly from your phone. Also, bear in mind that parking restrictions may be in place during special events, such as the Key Biscayne Art Festival, so check local advisories before your visit.
Public transportation to the USPS Key Biscayne Branch is somewhat limited, but accessible via the Miami-Dade Transit system. The most direct route is the Bus #102, which runs along Crandon Boulevard and has a stop directly in front of the post office. This bus operates approximately every 30 minutes during peak hours and every 45 minutes during off-peak times. A single ride costs $2.25, payable with an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, or via the GO Miami-Dade Transit app. The nearest Metrorail station is the Brickell Station, located on the mainland, accessible by taking the Bus #102 from Key Biscayne to Brickell Avenue and then transferring to the Metrorail. This journey can take approximately 45-60 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. From Brickell Station, walk south along Brickell Avenue and cross over to the Metromover station. While there isn’t a direct subway or rail line to Key Biscayne, the bus system provides a reasonable alternative for those without a car. Both the Bus #102 and the Metrorail system are equipped with wheelchair accessibility features, including ramps and elevators. The Key Biscayne bus stop in front of the post office has a covered shelter, providing some protection from the sun and rain. The sidewalks along Crandon Boulevard are generally well-maintained, making it easy to walk from the bus stop to the post office entrance. Consider using the Miami-Dade Transit Tracker app to check real-time bus schedules and plan your trip accordingly.
