The Florida Keys, consisting of Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine, and Key West, stretch some 106 miles from the Florida mainland to Key West and offer the visitor some of the best fishing, snorkeling, and diving in the world as well as sanctuaries for the flora and fauna of the area, beautiful natural parks, gourmet restaurants, and historic points of interest.

Travelers to the Keys have several options for transportation. If driving from Miami International Airport, take Lejeune Rd. south to 595 to the Florida Turnpike and then simply follow U.S. 1 south to the Keys. If coming from the Ft. Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport, go also to the Florida Turnpike and U.S.1. You will first arrive at Key Largo which is approximately 1 1/2 hours from the Miami Airport. Key West will be about 2 hours from Key Largo. Mile markers, small green signs marked M.M., indicate at what mile you are on the Overseas Highway (U.S.1).
