Overseas Highway Road Trip
3 DAYS
The Overseas Highway (Hwy 1) runs from the tip of the Florida mainland all the way to
the famed Mile Marker 0: Key West, the end of the road and the end of America. As you
tick the mile markers down, you'll be treated to some of Florida's oddest attractions and
the ever-inspiring view of Florida Bay on one side, the Gulf of Mexico on the other.
Well, OK, you'll get to that view, but first you have to go through the Upper Keys, lar-
ger islands that block the view of the water via big fields of scrub pine and mangroves. On
northerly Key Largo, check out the diving options at
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State
Park
, or visit the injured birds at the
Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center
.
