DIRECTIONS/TRANSPORTATION
BY LAND
A leisurely drive from
Miami. Take LeJeune Road south to 836 west. Take the Florida
Turnpike and drive south to where it ends at US1 in Florida City.
Follow US1 south along the 18 mile stretch to the Florida Keys or take
the scenic route via Card Sound Road. Once you are in the Keys, US
1 becomes the Overseas Highway and is marked with little green mile
markers. They begin in Florida City at MM 127 and continue on to
Key West at MM 0.
BY BUS
The Greyhound Keys Shuttle
(1-800-231-222) serves the Florida Keys, Miami Int'l Airport, Marathon
airport and the Key West airport.
BY SEA
Sail through America's
Caribbean. All Channels are well marked. Marinas abound.
And dock space is readily available. Or you can travel to the
Florida Keys by high speed ferry service from Ft Myers Beach.
BY TRAIN
Amtrak will take you as
far south as Miami, and from there you can take the Keys Shuttle.
MILE MARKERS
Down here in the Keys, the
Overseas Highway is like our Main Street. And the best way to get
around is to know the mile marker of your destination. These
little green signs that dot our highway every mile begin just south of
Florida City with number 127 and run all the way down to 0 in Key West.
They're like our addresses. If you know the mile marker of where
you're going, getting there is easy. Don't forget to ask if it's bayside
or oceanside!
