Take the Scenic Drive
7 Mile Bridge, Florida Keys
Driving through the Florida Keys on the Overseas Highway is something you should experience at least once in your life. There is a 110 mile stretch from Miami to Key West where you’ll be crossing 42 bridges and a spectacular scenic drive you’ll cherish forever.
A bit of friendly advice - don’t rush, enjoy the view and remember you are on vacation a/k/a island time. Wondering how long it takes to get from Miami to Key West? The drive would take you about 4 hours (on average), and that’s if you were to drive straight through without any traffic delays.
A little bit of history…
The Florida Keys Overseas Highway, from north of Key Largo to Key West, has been designated an All-American Road. The Keys highway is the only All-American Road in Florida. It’s the highest recognition possible under the National Scenic Byways program established by the U.S. Congress in 1991. Only 30 other roadways in the nation have earned the prestigious title.

“Great way to travel! Rather than spend 7 hours driving down to Key West, we decided to park the car and take the Boat. The journey took about 4 hours but was very relaxing. We sat on the top deck which was windy but great views( be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen)” ~ keswickpenarth via TripAdvisor
