ROAD TRIP – FLORIDA KEYS: KEY LARGO TO KEY WEST

Driving from Key Largo to Key West along the Overseas Highway is one of those road trips where the journey really is part of the adventure. The farther you go, the more the scenery changes, with turquoise water, palm trees, little beaches, historic sites, colorful shops, and plenty of quirky stops along the way.

There are so many places you could stop that it can be hard to decide what is actually worth your time. These are some of my favorite stops along the way, from Key Largo through Islamorada and Marathon and finally into Key West.

Whether you have a full day or want to take your time over a couple of days, this Florida Keys road trip gives you plenty of opportunities to get out of the car, stretch your legs, take some pictures, and enjoy the island atmosphere.
