Overseas Highway (Florida Keys)

About this drive

The Overseas Highway is one of the most unique drives in the United States, stretching over 100 miles from mainland Florida to Key West across a chain of tropical islands. This route is defined by long, uninterrupted bridges over crystal-clear water, including the famous Seven Mile Bridge. It’s not a technical driving road, it’s a pure cruising experience with ocean views in every direction. Starting in Key Largo and running south to Key West, the drive offers a relaxed pace, warm weather, and a completely different atmosphere from traditional mountain or canyon roads. Expect steady traffic, especially on weekends, but the reward is a laid-back, scenic drive perfect for convertibles, exotics, and weekend getaways. This is a bucket-list coastal cruise unlike anywhere else in the country.
