The Overseas Highway (US-1) carries you from the mainland to Key West across 42 bridges, with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. The most famous is the Seven Mile Bridge at Marathon, where the water stretches to the horizon on both sides.
The drive from Miami to Key West takes about 3.5 to 4 hours without stops. We recommend taking at least two days, stopping to snorkel, see the sea turtles and watch the sunset along the way. Look out for the green mile markers, which count down from the mainland to zero in Key West; Keys addresses are given by mile marker.
