Overseas Highway Along the Florida Keys

US1 passes over a series of islands (the Keys), causeways and bridges from Key Largo to Key West.

The Keys vary in size, most being very small, and apart from Key West they largely have a rural, old-world boating atmosphere.

The drive is generally scenic and interesting. One highlight is the seven mile bridge just west of Marathon.

Stay in Marathon rather than Key West if you prefer somewhere less crowded, less expensive and less commercialised.
