The Florida Keys – Island Magic in Southern Florida

The Florida Keys are a breathtaking island chain in southern Florida, stretching over 180 kilometers from Key Largo to Key West. Comprising more than 1,700 small islands, only a few are inhabited and are connected by the famous Overseas Highway (U.S. Route 1). This scenic road crosses 42 bridges, including the spectacular Seven Mile Bridge, and is considered one of the most beautiful coastal drives in the world.
