West of Flamingo Point in Everglades National Park is a long stretch of beach that runs for about 30 miles. The three capes are called out as official campsites, but can pitch your tent anywhere along the beach. One spot isn't much different than the next.
If you arrive at the Northwest Cape after 11:00am, you probably want to camp here for the night and get an early start the next day to make it as far as Highland Beach 20 miles to the north. The Grave Yard Creek campsite is not a very pleasant place to camp, as the name suggests, and the distances are deceptively longer than they might seem.
Unless there is a very strong wind blowing, be prepared to deal with a lot mosquitos.
