Considered one of The Scenic Drives of a Lifetime-
Highway 1, known as the Overseas Highway, from Key Largo to Key West unrolls like a long dark ribbon in front of the car, with immense vistas of turquoise water and paler blue sky stretching endlessley either side of you.
Driving from mainland Florida down the Overseas Highway, it's easy to understand why the southernmost leg of U.S Highway 1 is often referred to as the "Highway that Goes to the Sea". In fact, en route to Key West you encounter an astonishing 42 bridges over open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. From the top of some of these bridges, the individual islands in the distance look tiny and fragile against the sea and sky.
A true highlight of this route is to drive across the incredible Seven Mile Bridge, nothing but sparkling sea and deserted islands surround you, crank up the radio , this is cruisin' at its best.
