Getting to Key West and Getting Around

By Car

Connect to U.S. 1 South in Florida City and discover why it's called the Overseas Highway. Travelling along this beautiful scenic highway that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Atlantic Ocean is akin to a 90 mile sail. Count down the mile markers to Key West, where your adventure begins. We are three hours from Miami, four hours from Fort Lauderdale, and a world away from average.
