  • Length: 106.5 miles / 170.4 km Time to Allow: Four hours Fees: There are no fees to travel the Florida Keys Scenic Byway. The Florida Keys Scenic Highway, also called the Overseas Highway, begins south of Florida City on US-1. That's when you leave the mainland. It runs from Key Largo to Key West.
  • It is also good to know that there is an 18-mile stretch of road connecting the southernmost tip of the mainland of Florida to the 106.5 mile stretch that is the Keys. The whole stretch of road down to Key West is one of the most accident-prone roads in the U.S. and as a testament to that is patrolled by a large police force that enforces the speed limit very effectively. Take your time on the road and enjoy the views.
  • a piece of trivia on the bridge known as 'seven mile bridge' that spans the florida keys: there were two bridges that made this connection, and the oldest of the two was blown up for the movie True Lies.
