Getting There
Key West is the southernmost island among the Florida Keys that you can drive to, and is one of the most scenic roads in North America. A series of bridges and islands extend nearly 90 miles off the mainland until it's end at U.S. Highway 1 mile marker zero: Key West.
The easiest, most convenient way to get there is to fly into Key West Airport. Some of you may decide you would like to drive from either Miami or Ft. Lauderdale.
Along the drive, you can check what the rest of the Keys look and feel like. But it is the bridges, sloping above the blue green water, that steal the show. The longest, the Seven Mile Bridge, gives drivers the truest sense that they are heading out to sea.
From Miami, the drive will take around 3 hours, from Ft. Lauderdale a little closer to 4 hours. Take your time on this drive. The speed limits are strictly enforced, especially in the 14 mile Key Deer zone where the speed is 35 at night and 45 during the day. Once in Key West, you will not be using that rental car much.
Because the island itself is only 2 miles by 4 miles, many guests return their car at the airport and pick another one back up at the end of their week.
